Good post and I think you just defined my "disappointment. He DID have a great 2011 except for being dislodged at the kickoff guy, but FGs, yeah! But the problem is he didn't follow it up with as good of a 2012. Couple the 2012 with the short kickoffs in 2011 which were really, really bad in fact, and that is what I'm talking about.

I believe I heard he had some sort of injury in 2011 that explained his kickoff distance but I remember game after game where everybody team I was watching on TV was kicking down to the 5 and to the goal line, etc. LSU until they switched to Hairston was kicking down to the 10...the 12...the 14 and it wasn't a strategic move to kick the ball short. That stuck in my mind along with 2012 being inconsistent some.

"Converted 21-of-29 field goals" {in 2012) and "Kicked career-long field goal of 49 yards in win over Arkansas"

I didn't expect a 16 out of 18 again but 21 of 29 is a far cry from that. Also, I never realized he never kicked a 50 yard FG at LSU.

well I'm sure the efficiency of the offense in 2011 combined with the proficiency of the 2011 defense made it alot easier to kick in 2011 compared to 2012.


and not to hijack the thread talking about DA, but congrats to CG!
