With Aaron Boumerhi’s injury officially keeping him out for the season, the kicking game will be worth keeping an eye on as BC moves toward the ACC schedule. While I don’t think fans are necessarily expecting field goals (especially long field goals) to become a weapon BC can use to win close games, the hope is to have some certainty that missing short field goals and extra points won’t lose BC close games — as we’ve seen that happen far too often over the years.
After a bit of a hiccup in week 1 when Danny Longman missed one of his extra point attempts, things have gone fairly well on that front: Longman went 6-for-6 in point-after attempts in Amherst, and also hit a 27-yard field goal.
