Aidan Schneider did something in practice Thursday that’s never happened in his two seasons of games as Oregon’s kicker. The sophomore actually missed two straight attempts.
As usual, Schneider didn’t sweat the misses. The Portland native calmly rebounded by hitting from 39 and 44 yards, demonstrating yet again his uncanny cool under pressure.
Entering Saturday’s game at Stanford (4:30 p.m., FOX), Schneider is 16-of-17 this season and 27-of-29 for his career. Given all that success, the lifelong soccer player is just now starting to accept that he’s got a knack for this football thing – though his lack of experience in the game may actually be the entire key to Schneider’s success.
