News Article: Adam Griffith opens up about life after Kick Six

JustNeedMe81 · Nov 23, 2015

The stakes are different as Griffith returns to Auburn this weekend. The hype around the 2015 Iron Bowl is diminished as Auburn limps into the game with the worst record in the SEC West. Alabama has far more to play for as it pursues return trips to the SEC Championship and the College Football Playoff.
If Griffith is needed to make a long kick, he'll be ready. He's been Alabama's starting kicker the last two seasons and is as confident as he's been in years. Griffith put the past behind him and ignored the critics.

Pat Dye: Auburn will need "a bunch of kick-sixes to beat Alabama"

ChattTide · Nov 23, 2015

Can't wait for this game to be over because all we're going to hear all week is about the kick 6 thing. Unfortunately, however, I believe the auburnites will continue reliving this just like they do "punt Bama punt".

Needs to exorcise some demons is jhs this weekend.

Roll Tide!!

Just remind them Iron Bowl History: Alabama 43 wins to the barns 35 wins and there was 1 tie.

My Auburn friend swears up and down that Dye doesn't drink.

Glad that AG bounced back. He's been great downt he stretch this season!

My fear was that it would be blocked and returned for touchdown, or shanked and land on about the 20. I was amazed how far, how high and straight it did go. With the receiver one yard from the in-line, from the kick's trajectory, at 10 feet off the ground, I would estimate the ball would have been within about three yards of the crossbar. (My TI 83 Plus is out of batteries or I'd do the calculus.) I can't fault anyone in that situation for coming up short.

Anybody giving him grief is an imbecile. I've shanked a 3-iron out of bounds on the 18th hole once or twice - with nothing on the line and nobody watching.

I truly admire his ability to come back from that and face the risk again. I suspect most of the people down on him would have just quit in that situation, but of course, they weren't ever good enough to be there in the first place.

Why does everyone think Jeremy Johnson is getting better?

I hold my breath every time he winds-up to wing one down field.

Well, from what I've heard, he had an amazing game against the unstoppable Idaho Mashed Tater Vandals. LOL

They are 127th out of 128 teams. Very strong running game Auburn has.

I'm sure you aren't the only one.

Griffith was the very least of the problems on that play.

FIFY.

Not making 3rd-and-short being first on my list. Make one or two of those, and the play never takes place.

I obviously hope we score a bunch of TDs on them, but I would like to see Griffith kick a 45-55yd FG on AU at least once this weekend.

Yep, no way you can honestly fault a kicker for missing a nearly 60yd FG. The problem was not being ready to stop a return attempt.

I still contend that the AU player stepped out of bounds around the 50yd line or so. :cool2:
