The CheckerBoard

If we score as many times as I think we will this year, I would think it would be worth a scholarship to have a guy that can kick it through the endzone consistently (even if that's all he ever did). Just my

Bullock is a guy we will find out if he can contribute by the 1st game of the year. If he can't beat out Palardy or Darr and isn't doing kickoffs then he is no good.

So many games are won (or lost) due to the kicking game. I realize that having 3 or 4 kickers on scholarship is unusual, but on the other hand, we need to have one that we can count on consistently. The kicker's not all that important when you're getting beat by 30, but when you're in a close game, he can make all the difference.

If this kid's could consistently perform the way he has at the camps, then I think he's a take (unless the coaches think that Bullock is going to be the answer). I'm just not confident that the current kickers will come through when the game's on the line.

I find it hard to get excited over kickers anymore. I was so psyched when Palardy signed with us and his performance combined with the performances of our other kickers have left me with a wait and see attitude.

I'm not going to get excited about a kicker again unless his last name is Colquitt.

This^^ If Palardy doesn't get it done this year I don't see his one year at a time contract being renewed. If a player's scholarship is not renewed, does that open up another scholly to be filled? Maybe a dumb question but it's a gift. GO VOLS!

good article , thanks Ryan

Matt Wogan (K/P) out of Porter Ridge HS is that good. He works hard, takes the game seriously and will impact a program at the collegiate level. An incredible weapon at the HS level- no returns, booming punts and long FG made. Named team Captain for the 2012 season- a team that went to the state championship game last December 2011. www.ucncfootball.com
