This makes me so #### mad.
Does it take somebody is stupid as me to see this?
What in the hell do all the smart people in the booth do on FG/EP Attempts?
On the Extra Pt, I noticed that on our left side, there were 2 DU speedsters vs. 1 Clemson blocker. Their outside guy was untouched and came within a bat of an eyelash of blocking it. It almost gave me a heart attack.
I TOLD MYSELF:
Surely the booth will see this, and relay it, and they’ll fix the problem.
BUT, NO SUCH #### LUCK.
FG1: Exact same thing: Their outside guy untouched and full sped to the ball + voila, Blocked.
FG2: NO CHANGE - same guy, untouched, bat of an eyelash, if he didn’t touch it.
——-
Don’t tell me that a collapsing FG OL, with an outside speedster screaming in doesn’t affect a kicker, no matter how good he is.
I KNOW #### WELL IT DOES.
IT MESSES UP THE TIMING
——
And some stupid idiot like me sees the whole thing coming, and nothing ever gets fixed.
And to think,
Dabo is basically blaming Robert for the whole mess.
It makes me so #### mad.
Did anybody else The Hell see this?

I don't disagree that blocking was definitely part of it, but neither of those kicks got above head high either.

You are absolutely right. There is NEVER an excuse for having even 1 FG blocked, much less 2 by the same defender. You don't have to block them, just slow them down a smidge.

I beg to differ. Watch closely when he starts his kick. He is a half step slow. Watch other kickers. They move forward immediately when the center snaps. Gunn waits until the ball is almost to the spotter before he starts forward. Shoult be able to fix in practice.

What were you watching?
Both those kicks were way too low
All the guy had to do was stick his stupid hand up.
The only blocks that would have kept those kicks from being blocked were illegal blocks

No expert here, but many teams will let a guy run around the end with a little push or shoulder rub; knowing if the kicker/snap are on time, the “speedster” will not get there in time.
Looks like he shanked both kicks

I don't want to discount what you are saying

but both of those attempts could've hit any reasonably tall defender in the face. Hes got to get more lift on those kicks.

Your timeline is off which means your whole assessment is total BS. There was no extra point before the first FG attempt.
