I was hoping Memphis' Jake Elliot would make that list. He's certainly shown his worth this season.

Oh well, Tom Hornsey is a Ray Guy Finalist.

Wonder why Moffit wasn't in the running? He's got the 4th highest percentage of FG's made, better than both FSU's and USF's kicker, which puts him right behind the Texas kid, and he's 100% on PATs. Hell, Kloss isn't even in the top 40 in field goal percentage.

Most of his FGs are from far away.

5/7 from 40-49
4/6 from 50+

Compared to Moffit

3/3 from 40-49
1/2 from 50+

Ah, that 50+ stat is impressive.

Jake Elliot is 15-16 for the season with a long of 56yards and 20-20 PATs. Homerism it may be but he should have been a finalist.

Including 3-3 from 50+

Sadly for us, your offense has been more successful at driving in to close field goal range. Ours hasn't.
