Somebody said he's had a hamstring issue lately. Who knows. Glad to see him nail that last one though. And Domingue looked good. Maybe they split duties for a while.

Yes. 100% mental...and totally unacceptable for that reason.

You can't blame a kicker for missing when he steps up, let's it fly and it just doesn't go through.

It's never ok for a kicker to be so afraid of missing, that he just tries to guide it through which, in turn, adds a likelihood that he's going to miss.

You can't have a kicker who is afraid to miss. It just doesn't work.

Yeah he went to the Locker room a few times during the game.

Colby was nicked in the Furman game last year...missed an XP and FG...his only misses in 13. Through the Bama game this year he had missed one FG. It clearly looks like he has an injury now...I know it was cold in ARK, but that last attempt was bad and the one he made last night barely cleared and could have been blocked.

He has done his part as a kicker for the Tigers.

Exact thing I was thinking when he missed that field goal.

Looked like he got under that last one...had a LOT of height for such a medium/long FG attempt,

Would've been blocked if he didn't get that air under it. He's lucky the defender jumped past the ball too.

At least he nailed that last field goal. Really, those three straight misses were his only bad stretch I can recall--he's been consistent.

I was pleasantly surprised that Trent D. made the field goals, but still don't care for him that much as a kickoff man in the coming years.

I was disappointed that Gamble could not put his kickoffs in the end zone, but I know he is capable of doing that and hope he'll get some chances in the bowl game.

He has been pretty bad on XPs, too.

I think that was more game planning than anything because of the height he was able to get on them... Kick it between the 10 and endzone and let the coverage team make the tackle before the 25...

He has to be hurt. He has no distance at the moment.

All of misses have been just to the right if I'm not mistaken. Even the XP misses.

It is like leaving your club a little open at impact in golf. Seems like a minor adjustment and could be due to injury, but I suggest he should be able to power through the injury on the extra points or he shouldn't be kicking.

I'm going to blame it on Coach B. Dale.
