Ah, the specialists, oft forgotten until a blocked punt or missed field goal, they do have a place on the team.
Head coach Jim McElwain appeared irreverent as camera caught hit telling Austin Hardin, “You see those goal posts? There’s like these two things that go up and then see how there’s that thing on the bottom? See how that works? Just kick it in-between them.”
McElwain went on to blast the kicker after Hardin wasn’t able to consistently drive the ball into or through the end zone on kickoffs. “I was hoping that we had a kicker that could just bang it through the end zone,” he said.
