Didn't Jarod Brown do all three? PAT, FG, Kick-off? It's doable. You just have to have a reliable kicker

Yes. There were some games (back in the good old days) when I thought he must be absolutely exhausted with all the PATs and kick offs, when the team was regularly scoring 7 touch downs or more.

Jarod was an FBS kicker, I believe he was a redshirt transfer from West Virginia?

You're not joking lol. Jarod's PT went up as Plisco's went down

How does a coach of a FBS football program with 80+ scholarships let his team get into a situation with only ONE kicker?!! Guys get hurt. This is as stupid as not having a backup QB and having to run literally every single play because the guy behind center can't throw. This is not what "Aiming High" looks like.

Finally a post I agree with. He is still recruiting FCS caliber players.

We are going to win 5-6 games.

I really hope your right, just don't see it happening. Just curious, which games?

UTSA, Charlotte, UMASS, FIU, and UTEP are all winnable games. Maybe we drop 1 or 2 of those and steal a game vs. Florida Atlantic.

UMASS, FIU, and at UTEP will run us off the field. After last night, UTSA is probably going to beat us.

Where are you seeing FBS talent on this team? After watching them play Hampton, we could not win the MEAC this year.

Jarod Brown did not punt

Sorry: just saw the previous response.
