LUBBOCK, Texas — Matt Ammendola has kicked 10 Oklahoma State field goals this season. In four games. That’s a good news/bad news number.
Good news that the Cowboys have a hasn’t-missed kicker. Bad news that the Cowboys have called on Ammendola so often. This isn’t the NFL. Dogs that chase cars and college football teams that rely on field goals don’t live long.
Ammendola kicked one field goal against Oregon State, two against McNeese State, three against Tulsa and four against Kansas State. If the pattern continues and Ammendola kicks five Saturday against Texas Tech, the Cowboys will be flying home without their head coach.
