Looks like we rank 109th out of 115 in FG % in the NCAA with Bond being 11-18. In contrast the IU kicker has not missed a FG this year (13-13) and the Hawaii kicker is a remarkable (22-22).

I still trust Randy with 0-40 yard kicks and extra points. And his stats there are good with the only miss against SC in the first half. But if the FG is 40+ yards we should probably be going for it on 4th and say 5 or less every time.

For example in the 1st qtr against SC it was 4th and 2 and Bond missed a 45 -yard FG. Even though the offense was @ss in the 1st half and we could not run or complete a pass, still should have gone for it, IMO. Converting short yardage there might have jumped started the Offense instead of us having to wait until the 2nd half.

Just score TDs... problem solved

Bond should not be our kicker.

It is as simple as that.

There's no reason or excuse to be as bad as we are at FGs.

Bond has had issues his entire career that don't align with the level we should have.

Well next year you'll have a new kicker that is perfect, until hes not

Alabama with all their National Championships had some of the worse field goal kickers.

Just think. If he'd had made those 7 FGs we would likely still be undefeated

And he'd have cemented his place as the #1 kicker in Aggie Football history, to the pain and suffering of most

11 of 18 is rather shaky for a kicker

Especially a 4th year Senior kicker

We're 10-0 with our lucky missed kicks

The indiana kicker is due for a miss

Thank goodness bond made all is extra points or we don't win by one.

I laughed

But on the flip side, if he would not have missed a FG at Notre Dame, then we would have kicked for the tie at the end of the game instead.

Am I misremembering or is Bond a former walkon? Not that it matters.

all white players are former walkons

Our starting kicker isn't on the IR now. We have options.

Yes, walked on

If we were first in the nation in kicking we'd be ranked....3rd.

Enjoy the season and stop looking for sh&t to b&tch about.

It's time like these I wish the Dirty Sock was still open
