Here’s a quick search:

Key Kickers in the 2026 Transfer Portal:
  • Mateen Bhaghani (UCLA) 80% FG%. 5-9 from 50+ with a long of 57
  • Max Gilbert (Tennessee): 74% FG% 5-9 from 50+ with a long of 53
  • Abram Murray (Cal): 67% FG% long of 49, 0-0 from 50+

A guy who is 67% with nothing from 50+ is a "key kicker"?

Why TF would he want to go to a school that doesn't even have a dedicated special teams coach? Illinois does. Texas A&M does. Ohio State does not.

This is holding us back big time when it comes to getting quality special teams guys. Until Day gets it in his head that special teams do indeed actually matter and hired a dedicated coach, we are screwed here.

Cignetti is older than Urban Meyer, I believe. Even if they get the most out of him, it's unlikely that he'll be there for more than 7 years.

Stress is the “ager” though. Urban was hyper focused on self perception, and it showed. Cig doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks, and it’s not an act.

I was always watching for this in the games and how the team did.

It's a pretty clear mid game tell of how the game is going to go with a Day coached team.

Lack of execution in the middle 8 vs reasonably skilled team is a problem. Typically can be overcome against bad teams. It's a kill shot against almost anyone when it works (which is a lot).

Agreed and I think it gets down to then stepping outside of just the possession math and also taking into account the other big constraint which is clock and to a lesser degree game state.

I think that middle 8 is the real world spot where they are making the bet that they can grab the extra possession (in essence) by getting ahead two scores at that spot in the game (clock constraint now) you really start to squeeze the opponent and change the efficacy of their possessions the rest of the way.

We have all seen it work a lot more than it fails.

I agree with you on the middle 8 concept. Day brought this up a lot. Unfortunately we did not win the middle 8 in the games we lost.
