Kicking in D3 is always such a crap shoot.  It's gotten so bad at Trinity that instead of going for a 22-yarder that would have given them a three score lead against Millsaps midway through the fourth quarter, they went for it on fourth and seven (and did not convert).

Please help me here.

Was it 4th and 7 from the 22 that would have likely been a 39 yd FGA?

My bad.  4th and goal from the 6, so it was a 23-yard attempt.

Whoa! That is an extra point! I feel your pain!

Well last game we punted from the McMurry 29 yard line so I think it's fair to say Harmon was dialing up his inner Fred there. haha!

I can remember years when UMHB had a FG kicker who could make a 46yd FG.

I mean, this one was only a 42 yarder but still makes me happy:

But yeah, crap shoot. Avila was 70+% in 2019 with a 52 yarder, but something like 50% in 2020/2021.

Does the kicker have a height issue? He is 9 for 14 which isn't great but 3 of the 5 misses were blocked which might be on him or the o-line.

The very young OL has struggled all season, compounded by injuries, with blocking, be it run, pass, or kick.  The nearly 300 yards rushing last week was more than the previous 3 (maybe 4) weeks combined.
