STILLWATER — Oklahoma State field goal kicker Matt Ammendola doesn’t waste his time thinking about his last trip to Lubbock, Texas, two years ago.
He doesn’t think about the past much at all when it comes to his kicking.
But that 2017 night in Lubbock was particularly painful, when Ammendola missed twice from inside of 25 yards, hitting both off the right upright, in a game that was tied until a Mason Rudolph touchdown run sealed OSU's win over Texas Tech.
At the time, Ammendola had gained a reputation as a consistent kicker from 35 yards and longer, but shaky from shorter yardages, and the Tech game only fed into that reputation.
