Let that headline sink in.
Has Alabama woes in the kicking game officially been solved?
Head coach Nick Saban was in a chipper mood when it came to addressing the media on that aspect of the game, following the first scrimmage of fall practice. In a battle between Joseph Bulovas and Will Reichard, Saban was pleased with both guys yet he singled-out the latter.
Reichard, a three-star from Hoover, Ala.,, was the nation’s top-rated kicking prospect – according to the Kohl’s Kicking site. He nailed 27 of 31 field goals during his high school tenure and made all 109 of his extra point tries.
