Adam Griffith is 10 for his last 12 FGs - Share the love

Excellent work by Adam! The kickoffs so are unlike anything I can remember at Bama.

Mark my words... AG is gonna hit a game winner at some point.

His leg got us into OT when we beat LSU last season.

WTG Adam, I am glad he is doing better.

I was thinking this too. I remember our debates on here if Foster kicked it short on purpose or not.

In Death Valley. At night. Definition of clutch.

Those kick offs were big on Saturday. Made sure that UT had to drive the ball a long way. To their credit, they did it a couple of times, but it`s hard to make a living against this D if you have to do it time after time. Adam did his job superbly last weekend. I just wonder if maybe he`s feeling better (?)

He did a fantastic job on kickoffs as well as his place kicking. I will admit though that I never trust our kickers to make FGs...I can't explain it.

Heck...I think the last kicker I trusted was Michael Proctor.

when i don't watch him do it, he makes the kick. I will never look again.

Against, Georgia, my sons and I leaned left his last kick to help him pull it through since everything was missing right.

I am very proud of Adam. We need every point we can put on the board! RTR!

Yes, I'm glad he's doing better. And yes, he hit a clutch kick against LSU. And no, I don't blame him in any way for the Kick Six.

But I was texting a friend at the time and when we failed the first shot at a TD (which enabled the Vols to take the lead), I even texted, "God, I hope this doesn't come down to the kicker." And that's weird. We are the school that once went about seven years without missing a PAT. We're the school had ace kickers like Van Tiffin, Phillip Doyle, and even to a large extent Michael Proctor (who hit a 40-yard PAT against UF in the 92 SECCG that was critical - and he was a freshman).

We haven't had a reliable kicker in 20 years. I was told the reason we didn't have a good one for the first ten is because we were on probation. But that's no excuse now.

Edited to add: Leigh Tiffin was all right, pretty good, but he wasn't money in the bank inside the 40, either. That's what I mean. So yeah he was reliable but he wasn't 'hey, we've got this.'

Mine was Van Tiffin

I'm glad Adam is doing well. He's our guy.

LIKE! He is hitting most of his kick-offs solid also. I don't have the Like/Thanks icons. Everybody else having this issue?

9 of his last 15 have been touchbacks, and he's just shy of 50% overall

For the month of October, he's booted 58% of kickoffs for touchbacks, good for 28th overall.
