Kicking
Posted: Sat Dec 11, 2021 11:29 am
At the beginning of this past season, I thought that one of our real question marks would be place kicking. We certainly have enough kickers on the roster but most were primarily punters who could also place kick. So I was pleasantly surprised by this set of stats.
Dylan Van Dusen
10 of 12 (83%) field goals made with a longest of 42 yds. Both misses were in the Fordham game. 13 of 13 extra points.
By comparison
Derek Ng- Holy Cross-1st team all PL
10 of 17 (59%) field goals made with a longest of 50. Extra point information unavailable.
Micah Pettit-Lafayette-2nd Team All-P/L
10 of 15 (67%) field goas made with a longest of 49. Again, I can't find info on extra points.
Ironically Pettit was 5 of 5 from 40-49 but only 5-10 from inside the 40.
Suddenly IMHO, what I thought may be a weakness is really a strength. The voters in the PL obviously placed a higher value on leg strength than accuracy. I'm not in that school however.
Just a thought.
