The start of the 2017 season for the Texas Longhorns has featured the tale of two Josh Rowlands.
The junior college transfer who quickly won the starting place-kicking job this spring has been Bad Josh Rowland in games, hitting on only 4-of-9 attempts and missing a 27-yard field goal against Kansas State and a 45-yarder that would have won the game at the end of regulation.
Known only as “The Kicker” to head coach Tom Herman, Rowland has also been Good Josh Rowland in practice.
"The hard part with the kicker is if you or if my grandma was at practice, she could tell you who the starting kicker should be because the kid had that good of a fall camp," Herman said in September.
