	Didn't Tiffen miss a kick that would have beaten arkansas a couple years back?

I like to not think about that game if possible

I think it was 3 years ago in 06! He missed more than just one if I remember correctly! He had a horrible day! He never has been as consistent as his dad altho he developed into a better than average kicker! Does anyone rember if he missed a extra point in that ark game? I am not flaming Tiffen , he has won some close games for us. I think anytime you get the first points on the board you have a tremendous advantage even if it just a field goal!

I doubt he had a Bama offer.

He did but after Cade Foster committed his offer was no longer commitable.

According to Scout, he along with Cade Foster and barn commit Cody Parkey are all 4 star recruits.

LOL Wonder if he thought he would get plenty of oppurtunities at long field goals @ Tennessee. Plus, not sure why he is considered the best place kicker must be from performing well at various camps.

2008 stats 3 of 4 on FGA. and 76 of 78 extra points.

Both are extremely good at what they do - have to admit, after watching this video though, the fact that this guy Palardy can both punt and kick, saving UT a scholarship in the process, makes him a pretty valuable pick-up. And 15 offers might be the most I ever heard of for a college kicker or punter.

That being said, I am glad we got Cade - he looks like the much better tackler of the two!

I thought that it was a rule at UT that your last name had to be Colquitt in order to punt there???

I see a name change in his future

Pretty sure the Vols have been doing it for years. How else do you explain all those kicking Colquitts?

True....we now have to wait on Dustin or Britton to have kids

Unless there is a cousin or two out there
