that's all playing what-ifs though. No one really deserves terribly more blame, there's a multitude of things that went wrong at times all over the team that would have won them the game...not just 1 blaring thing


you want to play that game, how about how poor the offense was against UCLA? Id say that loss weighs equally or more on their lack of ability to produce throughout the entire game more so than a late FG



Lincoln was by no means the best kicker the school had.....but he certainly by no means was the worst either

UCLA was a travesty, but Lincoln made a really clutch field goal to send it to OT. If our joke of a Clawfense couldn't go 25 yards against a shoddy UCLA defense then we didn't deserve to win that one, Lincoln or no.

I'm gonna have to go with Wilhoit on the best. I don't have stats for yall on kickers, so I have to go based off what I've seen, and whenever the game was on the line and Wilhoit stepped up to kick, I never had a doubt in my mind, no matter where he was at, that it wasn't going through the uprights. F'in clutch man.

Best: Alan Duncan. Anyone that kicks barefooted has nads of steel and deserves the recognition

Jeff Hall would get my vote for best. I'm going to age myself with this, but my vote for the worse would be Ricky Townsend.

WTF?

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ricky Townsend's foot propelled him to All-America status his sophomore and junior seasons after he became the Vols' first barefoot placekicker.[/FONT]

A two-time All-American was our worst kicker?

With a nickname like the Barefoot Bomber you can't name him the worst!

What if it's because of how he "bomb"ed all those field goal kicks?

Lincoln was pretty awful. I hope Palardy doesn't, injury or no injury, slip into a lincoln funk.

Lincoln was a victim of Kiffin's inability to see what everyone else good and his personality. Do I like his career, no but he's not our worst kicker.

Lincoln: 51/74, 68.9%
Wilhoit: 59/82, 72%
Walls: 53/68, 77.9%
Hall: 61/89, 68.5%
Becksvoort: 52/75, 69.3%
Burke: 32/44, 72.7%
Carlos Reveiz: 34/47, 72.3%
Fuad Reveiz - 71/95, 74.7%

I'll take Fuad and Walls over anyone else. Hall's statistically the worst, but he's arguably the most clutch of any on this list.

All things considered, Lincoln is at the bottom imo. He did do a nice job of redeeming himself until the MCB XP (although ultimately I still blame incompetent refs for that game).

Thanks for the breakdown...it would be interesting to see stats like this on other key positions over the past 30 years or so

Blame the rule, not the refs.

Daniel Lincoln could be a Navy Seal, be a decorated vet, and I would still remember him for Choking against Bama.

I thought lincoln did a solid job last year. Even the best kickers miss an XP once in a while. Didn't Jeff Hall miss one badly in the National Championship game?

I'll take Fuad in a heartbeat. Hell, I'd take Fuad cut in half over the kicking performances we've seen over the last several years. I will never forgive Daniel Lincoln for single handily losing the game vs Bama because he couldn't figure out how to get the ball higher than 3 feet in the air.
