Both kicks were really bad. This is very concerning.
Not sure what the answer is...well, besides scoring TD's instead
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep.

Kicking is an issue.

At least he got one.

Rubino is 3-3 this year under 40 and 1-5 on FG attempts of 40 or longer. Matics struggled in 2014. Rubino will be okay.

Re: Kicking is an issue.
True his stats make him look better but.....very very few have been anywhere close to down the middle and majority are too low especially xps.....it's a wonder we haven't had numerous blocks.
KICK ASS!!!

He's a Redshirt Freshman and his first year kicking at this level. Ease up guys. He never lost to Liberty

Left Hash.
Just like Matics had a preferred hash, it is painfully obvious Rubino needs to be on the left side of the field.

Re: Kicking is an issue.
I am being serious and not snarky. What does "at this level" mean in the kicking game. Are the goal posts a different height or width? The kicker is not physically involved in other words size and speed are not involved. He is kicking at the same target he has been kicking at for as long as he has been kicking is he not?

Re: Kicking is an issue.
I really don't want to pile on but one thing that has stuck with me. I recall watching Rubino's highlights from high school and I never recall seeing him kick a FG. I saw punts and kickoffs. That being said he must have done something to warrant so many looks. I think there is more mental than physical with a kicker. Can a kicker block out the noise? Maybe that is part of his issue and hopefully he will get better.bcoach wrote:I am being serious and not snarky. What does "at this level" mean in the kicking game.

Rubino, like all recruits, are recruited on their potential to develop. Coaches saw his strong leg and that is why he was sought after. Just needs to work on accuracy and Satt needs to give him more chances from the left hash since he keeps missing right
His make today was from the left. Misses from the right

He had the 52yd from the right hash. Looked like it swerved right then back left and would have went except not long enough.

Re: Kicking is an issue.
My thought is under 40 yards let Rubino kick. He's 3 of 3 from that distance. On longer field goals trot out Critcher. Several teams do this now.

Re: Kicking is an issue.
Yep 18'-6 vs 23'-4 I never really paid attention to that before. I am still not terriblly happy.
