Does anyone know when Zips Weekly starts up?

Great write up, thank you! Bennett was awarded the number 1 jersey earlier this year, it’s a cool tradition they have with the two number 1 jerseys.

tomorrow.

Agreed, we need one or two more for competition, injury protection and practice. Can't have one guy doing all the practice snaps.

people rarely factor in how difficult it is for some players to be away from home or even out of state. When lifting starts in June local guys can still make it home to see friends and family.

I also would love a MAC/Sunbelt merge but that would depend on how they classify "dead weight" lol.

We currently do not have a LS on the team.

He was very popular in the locker room. Too bad.

That would be awesome if it was.

Agree with this, it's frustrating. You'd think at the minimum they could partner with their radio and television school or campus television to let the students produce some content.

Some insights into kicking in general

Agree on all accounts. He was great with the freshman specialists.

he is the first MAC kicker to ever win it.

One of the two longsnappers on the roster. Did punt snaps.

Fun fact Bruno Dall is from Germany.

Can I like this twice?

I don't think anyone expected Kentucky to actually play that game.

Not my first choice selfishly, but going for it would have been far better than punting.

Tired of this kicker talk. I know this place isn’t a great place to be for a player parent and I’m 100% comfortable with player criticism. But let me just defend Owen. He missed one kick this year that was his fault, the other was so poorly blocked on the edge that the Buffalo player was standing in front of him when he kicked. It’s maddening because he routinely wins the weekly “kick off” by making all of the kicks that Moorhead refuses to try in game. Yeah he had a squeaker in OT, but box score shows it went in. What should be talked about, is kicking is 80% mental. And you can’t have confident kickers when they know if they miss just one, they are out and rotated. No kicker is perfect. The Georgia kicker started the year terribly, the coach publicly and privately backed him and he’s a Groza semi-finalist right now. Dante is a good kid, and a good kicker, but the decision to start him in Indiana shocked all of us, including Dante. Moorhead put him in that position last minute. Not Tucker. I watch my kid make those kicks in warmups, in pressure kicks at practice, and to not go for the kick and instead punt from your 31 is just incredible to me. How do you preach finish and don’t give your players the chance to finish. This coach, the announcers, all talk about the kicking issues and meanwhile my kid has missed one. A 47 yarder into a stiff wind. The holder and the snapper are very good. But no kicker will succeed in this environment.

😰

They have one. He was 5/5 at that distance at ht warmups.
