Dealing with pressure and executing in clutch moments. The OU kicker was on point and stepped up to the plate when he was needed. He kept OU in the game and helped them salvage drives when their offense wasn’t performing. Then when the offense came alive for OU they were able to score and rely on the field goals he delivered.

Dude was hitting 55 yarders like it was nothing.

That’s what we need. A clutch kicker who can get us points when our offense sputters. Even if they are long FGs.

When you find him, can he bring his coach in a package deal?

Lots of teams don't have this. What we need is a QB that doesn't turn the ball over 3 times in critical moments.

I feel bad for Max. He’s definitely going through some things right now. I think the talent is there, but might want to see a sports psychologist
So do a lot of our fans! Loosing like that is tough and add the AL loss along with finding a way to lose to GA. Realistically, we haven't beaten a team of relevance all year

Yep, he was very embarrassing looking skinny dude who was talking smack like he was 7 foot tall but nailed all of his FGs some just barely made it over the bar but got to give it to him.

Yes. It seems they’re so involved in technique and their 4/5 star status that they forget it’s football. And if they don’t get their heads right very quickly, Vandys 3 stars are going to beat them.

I am not so sure Vandy is the 3-star champions like people think anymore. They are Indiana-light, both of them have been pulling from transfer portal to bring in talent to compete. The difference between them and a UGA is the talent they pull have CFB experience instead of just star ratings in Highschool. The Indiana/Vandy model maybe the future. Why recruit Highschool talent when you can grab players from G5 or FCS programs with experience?

Come on now! The kid has been pretty good. Yes he missed a few big kicks, but he is talented. Yes he needs a little edge to him. Maybe if he had a coach instill that into him he might come out with a little swagger.

He didn’t cost us ANY games. Could he have one a couple? ABSOLUTELY! But so could have many other aspects of the games.

Kicks under 50 yards shouldn’t be a 50/50 toss up.

Bro he literally lost the Alabama game for us. Completely.

I was in that end zone where he made all 3 50+ yard kicks. OU kicker maximized everything he had to make those kicks. You could see they were barely clearing the bar but he executed them perfectly. He doesn't make it if it's 56 yards. OU keep getting right inside FG range and knew their limit.

Gilbert missed a much closer one. We're up 27-26 if Gilbert hit his FG.

We are failing that game maxim.
