There was no way I wasn't picking up The Nuge to be my fantasy league kicker.

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Good chance for Nuge to go get himself a ring

 

[Dryden]

With Nugent back in the league, it is now possible to field an entire 53-man roster with active NFL Buckeyes.

No other school can claim this.

Nuge's first kick as a Patriot was an extra point. He missed it.

 

[ScriptOhio]

Nuge's first kick as a Patriot was an extra point. He missed it.

But he did make the next 2; both FGs (37 and 23 yards).

Update: But he did make the next 5, has made 2 FGs and 3 XPs now.

I don’t think he’s long for the league at this stage. Another miss.

I don’t think he’s long for the league at this stage. Another miss.

He’ll be cut tomorrow

Him being a below average nfl kicker is maybe the most surprising nfl outcome of any alum

He's top 45 all-time in points scored, FGM, and FG%. I wouldn't call any 15 year career below average.

 

[BuckeyeTranspla]

They've brought in other kickers to try out every week he's been on the team and have had at least one on the practice squad. He's looked a little rocky but the fact they haven't replaced him yet plus a perfect game this week should buy him some more time.

Valid points. I think his career just hasn't lived up to draft day expectations.

 

[Dryden]

Good Lord, Nugent just shanked a FG so bad he looked like someone that had never kicked in his life.

Only reason that FG was good is cause it was kicked from the 9 yard line.

 

[OhioState001]

Wouldn't be surprised if he's cut after this game

Time for Nuge to enjoy retirement
