Detmer is indeed a great addition to the program.

One of my favorite Rockets, not onlly because he brings the big leg we've lacked for years but because he gets really pumped up fo a kicker. That 51 yarder had easy clearance- i was hoping for the reeeeaaalllyyy long attempt as well.

Consider the field position we'd give up if he missed.

no question punting was the right decision- a 61 yard FG would have been more fun.

Here's a link to the game story. It says the bowl bids have to issued no later than Dec. 4th.
