They had the entire Spring, Summer, and Fall camp with these kickers and they are just now realizing they are screwed if the #1 guy goes down? How often does the number 1 kicker go down to an injury? I can't hardly think of one time, so most teams have no back up plan. However, the coaches did have a back up plan in Dylan Jorgensen and he didn't practice today either. So, you can spin it as desperation, but literally every other team in the country would be in the same boat if their number 1 guy went down. 1 Quote Link to comment

I’m not saying that everybody has a great back-up kicker that they can turn to. Look how the NFL chews up and spits out kickers. Kicking is hard. Which is probably why all teams should have a backup plan. College coaches are such control freaks I find it hard to believe that most of them do not. But, they could also just be following the plan. A.) Open competition kickers, punters and safeties. 2.) Try-outs with the club soccer team. Quote Link to comment

Jorgensen wasn't in pads at practice today, either. I don't know what kind of roster management most teams do, but I would think two PKs is pretty standard. Not a lot of teams going to waste a roster spot on a third place kicker. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 LOL...I'm old enough to remember fans upset that a coach gave a scholarship to a kicker. 1 Quote Link to comment

STL Husker Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I knew we should have redshirted Adi Kunalic. 1 Quote Link to comment

And that third kicker is true Freshman walk-on Gabe Heins from Kearney. And if he's out there against NIU and gets hurt... shouldn't we have a guy on the squad who could possibly kick for us?

And then they can open it up to the students like Florida did in 2015. https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/no-13-florida-holds-open-tryout-in-hopes-of-finding-kicker-102115 Interesting note, the guy that won the competition for Florida made 2 out of 3 extra points and then tore his ACL.
