    I didn't see the snap on Cam's blocked kick that only got about 6 feet of elevation, but I was told it bounced back to the holder.

    Watched most of the game last night and on his first miss it seemed like he either planted too far away from the ball or the hold was too far away from the normal spot. Seemed like he really reached out to kick the ball which is why it looked to me he pushed it right. Plenty of leg on his kicks and no funky motion with the ball curving or floating, so I'm not concerned. He is a true freshman after all.

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    I'm pretty sure most of the field goals missed this year by both Ben and Cam have been when the ball is on the far right hash mark. NFL kickers have it much easier as the hash marks are not as wide as college.

    WHY DIDNT KLIEMAN ALLOW CAM TO KICK ON THE 4th & 4 AT END OF THE GAME TO BUILD CONFIDENCE??? THAT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE!

    He is a true freshman, and has made some and missed some. I am glad he is a Bison. I know his pop is enjoying the Bison experience.

    If you guys want to publicly criticize an 18 year old walk on who has kicked very well on the verge of the biggest game of the year, that is stupid on all levels. The coaches know how to coach him. Bisonville couldn't kick an extra point much less a long field goal in a high pressure situation on national TV.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
