7th best FG% all time at LSU.

Curious about your opinion of Drew Alleman and Colt David.

Neither was great

drew Alleman was 8/16 on kicks over 30 yards in 2012. Now in 2011 he was 8/10 which is much better but he is mostly remembered for elite moments not really being the biggest leg or most accurate

Same with Colt David.

Ramos was 16/21 over 30 this season. 48/65 for his whole career.

Oh ok.

yeah he’s better than Drew Alleman

I dont think Drew Alleman is the measuring stick for kickers

I don't understand why Burrell can't kick field goals


Because accuracy is a large part of being a good kicker

Not for great kickers, but Ramos was good.

LSU has only had a few great kickers. Cole Tracy, Cade York, Maybe Josh Jasper, and David Browndyke. I just don't remember Browndyke having a great leg(my memory is suspect), so I don't think they tried many long kicks with him, but he had a season without a miss. I honestly can't recall what Jasper's leg was like

Exactly. We can argue over semantics and about who is slightly more above average than who, or we can go out and buy elite. Give me another Cade York.

Have you seen him kick? Do you trust Baton Rouge Media or the last coaching staff? I don’t.

Anyone but Gaston’s son


Just posted another thread on this- his son just hit the portal and his special teams coach is here now. So….

Gaston has been a salty son of a bitch since his son went elsewhere. Interested to see if he’s changed his tune with a new staff

Don’t trust anybody. Everything is a conspiracy

He has trouble keeping it between the sidelines on kickoffs
