he finished the regular season perfect on field goals and ep attempts. hopefully he keeps going through the post season. is this a first for a bama kicker? i remember in the early 80s someone (peter kim?) being "automatic", but don't know if they had no misses.

It's pretty ridiculous - shocked he was left out as a finalist for the Lou Groza Award this year.

Props to him, he definitely had been clutch for us starting with the bcs championship game. I am glad we didn't need him more this year. Lol.

Did we not miss a PAT earlier in year? Maybe he didn't kick it but could swear we missed one.

Re: props to jeremy shelley

He has half as many field goals as the other guys, but that is because we haven't needed field goals as much.
But he is perfect on FG's AND XP's. They basically have FG's in the 20's to Shelley's teens, and he has matched them on XP's and is perfect compared to each finalist missing both at least a FG and XP or more. Being perfect says something.

don't know about the FG, but at one point in the 80s we went several years w/o missing an an XP. We had the NCAA record for a while.

He might not have enough field goal attempts to qualify. Not sure what the Groza qualifications are. Still an incredible season though.

I thought it was the kid from Pelham, we had during our 1992 championship season, that had an insane streak of XPs.

Here's my note of appreciation. It is still football. Place kicking and punting shows up more in the most competitive games. Here's to Jeremy having his A Game ready for Georgia.

My appreciation is that I was calling for a kicker upgrade at the start of the season. Well, we got one - with the same guy. Excellent performance.
