I saw a tweet the other day that said that Matt Gay has made more 50 yard field goals this year than BYU has made in 50 years, or something like that.
Punter/Kicker U!
There’s something vaguely worrisome about the fact that year after year we have a star punter and star place kicker.Originally Posted by Applejack

I'm glad to know there are a few positions we don't have to worry about. Used to feel that way about the defensive line...
I guess having our kickers as the stars of our offense is kind of like having our strong safety as our leading tackler. Not sure it's such a good thing.

:Confused:
This is the most bizarre comment. Stars of the offense? Have you ever watched Utah play football? Yes it would be great if we never had to punt or kick the ball and just drove for touchdowns, but amazing situations like that only happen in dreams. Be happy that our kickers are amazing. Be content!
After all, it's still called FOOTball.

Our two kickers are the guys on the team who get the national awards and recognition. To me it's mildly unnerving and mildly funny.

Particularly when Utah used to be decidedly anti kicker and punter in the Mac years.

Jesus man. Spoiler tag that or something. Why do you hate me?
True. It's sad that we have TWO finalists for national awards, and some people can only complain about them being the "stars" of the offense. Sad.
Mac only recruited Running Backs for the entire football team. All the other positions had to make due with the leftovers.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
LaUte is furious!
Ps, mitch was robbed! He ought to use the snub to come back even stronger next year!
I want 5 fake punts next year. Make it happen, Kyle.

Mitch was robbed. The time he scooped up the bad snap, ran away from the punt rush, and got off a left footed punt is the single greatest punting highlight in the history of football. A left footed punt! I don't think any other punter in any league could have done what he did that day.
Great news for Gay.

Yeah, the committee was obviously looking for the best punter not from Utah. Seriously, this is the biggest catastrophe in the illustrious history of the Ray guy award. Next year the offense should be adjusted so that Mitch has the maximum chances to show off his talents (fake punts, pinning opponents deep, laying people out, etc). We can not let this aggression stand!
Not bad for a walk on.

Exactly. I see offensive possessions like this: A fake punt on first down, and Mitch advances the ball to midfield. Another intentionally short punt to the 20 results in a fumble, forced by our superb punt coverage team, and Matt Gay kicks an easy field goal. The Utes don’t even have to bother with the red zone. I’m not even sure we would need an offensive coordinator any more.
