And I agree the RT, RG, and C may all be all-SBC teamers at year's end. The freshman LT played better than expected as well.

I'm no kicking coach and don't pretend to be but his entire motion seemed off last night. I haven't been able to watch practice to see if he has a tendency to push the ball to the right but it seemed that his motion can be attributed to that happening twice. The way he leans left and pushes his leg through instead of swinging his leg through is something that can be fixed but I'm not sure if it'll be this season.

The reports out of camp were that he could hit from distance but that h e was inconsistent. You overlook missing the FG given the environment. Harder to accept the missed PAT.
