Re: Possible grad transfer: Temple kicker Austin Jones

He seems to be a reasonably accurate kicker without much range. Career long is 47 yards as a freshman.

You sure Saban didn't ask for Austin Powers as the "err-a-Pappanastos" for replicating 'Bama's high (and wide-left) post-season drama?

Wonder what this means for and about Bulovas.
Scott said that Bulovas has a very strong leg, but he never mentioned his accuracy. Maybe he just isn't consistent?

Someone said that Bulovas was struggling kicking the ball... not very consistent kicker right now...

Maybe with a dedicated ST coach, one of these guys will better! One can only hope.

Hard not to buy that as the truth with them looking at Jones. This current issue started with Pineiro leaving so late in the process which really hurt the kicking timeline imo.

Kid had a monster sophomore year and was having a great junior year as well before an injury.

Since a tough freshmen year he’s since been 37 for 45 (82%) on FG’s. If he can hit them in big stage pressure spots I’ll take him. We need a guy who doesn’t meltdown under the bright lights.

This past year on the big stages against FSU, Clem, and UGA our kicker was 6 for 11 (54%).... ‘shakey leg’ indeed.
