You would think a Division I kicker could get the ball in the end zone every once and awhile????

I heard something from Clark in the post game interview. If your a receiver and you want to be on the field you better be willing and able to make your blocks.
He was referring to why Virgil wasn’t on the field much later in the game, Clark saying they chose to run more. Guess with his smaller frame he isn’t much of a blocker compared to other WRs.
although, his replacement had an even smaller frame...RS freshman, Christian Wells.

I do believe Coach Moore said something like this back in the day - "Scoring is great - but then we have to kick-off"
"Montani Semper Liberi"

Honest question: Do folks believe our kickers can't kick it into the end zone or is this a strategic decision attempting to pin them deeper? I've seen other teams kicking it high and shorter playing the field position. Personally, I'd rather see us kick it into the end zone...as deep as possible.

Demetrius Taylor. Had issues with his jersey apparently.

His jersey exploded when he blew up the CLiT RB 5 yards in the backfield.

It’s an aggressive tactic, kick it deep into a corner to shrink the field and make a tackle inside the 20.
