RSS had a meltdown on the subject. Guys calling for Brown`s scholarship to be revoked etc.
I disagree. Right now he's a 50 percent kicker. If he doesn't improve dramatically he needs to be cut loose after the season. His name means nothing to me.LMAO. Shouldn't don't pull scholarships, and especially from a legacy like Brown.
There were threads about it that I deleted and banned posters for acting like children. I guess calling players names is part for the course for people on the board.
Name calling is the bastion for those that can`t express themselves with lucid arguments.
I hope this is sarcasm. You do know this is not Josh Brown right? This Brown is HORRIBLE. 67% make average for a field goal kicker, most of which are under 40 yard is not good. Not saying we wouldn't have still lost if he did make them but man. He is an issue that needs fixed asap. Im guessing if he wasn't a Brown he wouldn't be playing here... Or probably anywhere else D1 levelLMAO. Shouldn't don't pull scholarships, and especially from a legacy like Brown.
That's assuming we kick it in the field of play forcing a return.Well if he hits the last FG, we then have a kick off, which leads to more time ran off the clock and longer field to drive and hail marry never have reached tue end zone, more then likely had to be a catch and run into the endzone. With all that considered, yes with a made field goal there at the end, we probably win.
At our house we kept saying "too much time too much time". Again proves that football is a game of inches.How did the coaches not tell Tommy to milk the clock down to 3 seconds on each snap.?
I blame Riley for even attempting a 2nd field goal attempt. should have gone for it on 4th down. every single person in that stadium and watching on the TV knew brown was gonna miss that 2nd FG attempt before he even kicked it.Thats a pretty big deal.
I love this sentiment... Of course he should have gone for it! We all knew Brown would miss!I blame Riley for even attempting a 2nd field goal attempt. should have gone for it on 4th down. every single person in that stadium and watching on the TV knew brown was gonna miss that 2nd FG attempt before he even kicked it.
You`re the first fellow husker fan i`ve interacted with that thought brown was gonna mAke the kick and was correct decision to even try for the FG. Interesting perspectiveI love this sentiment... Of course he should have gone for it! We all knew Brown would miss!
Actually, we didn't know he would miss. And if he made it, it forces BYU to go the length of the field for a td, not a portion of it for a field goal if we go for it on fourth and don't make it.
Like someone else said, hindsight is 20/20. Normally the safer play is take the points. Nick saban has had place kicker woes a lot the last several years, and yet still trots out the kicker. At times it has cost him dearly. Same thing happened to us yesterday. But if he hits the field goal, almost every one of us would have felt like it was the right call.
I didn't realize I said I thought he would make it. In fact, rereading my post, I don't see anywhere where I said I thought he would make it. I was just pointing out that coaches play for points in that situation more often than not. Unless you're Chip Kelly, and there is so little time left in the game, and you are in field goal range (Brown did kick some over 40 last year), you take the points so that they have to get a td to beat you. If you miss the field goal, play defense. With your football knowledge, I assumed you would have understood that.You`re the first fellow husker fan i`ve interacted with that thought brown was gonna mAke the kick and was correct decision to even try for the FG.

Well ok and if ST play isn't better cut lose the coach because his name means even less to everybody.I disagree. Right now he's a 50 percent kicker. If he doesn't improve dramatically he needs to be cut loose after the season. His name means nothing to me.
I agree with this.. a good kicker has to have a really strong mental game. This is not an easy thing to fix. It's one thing to do it in practice when there is no pressure, and a completely different thing when the game is on the line. Whomever is the backup might do better on game day and the staff needs to find this out next week.IMO his problem is between his ears as with most kickers.
We have another kicker on the roster, who was a JUCO all American. Has he not looked good? Was Brown really that much better than him?Thats a pretty big deal.

I'm asking because I really don't know.
At this point, I think they need to take a closer look at the other guy.
Who else do we have? When was the last time N didn't have a consistent kicker?
