The 55 yard field goal scenario today was wild. For many reasons.

Number 1: why in the **** would we be in that situation? If you're really thinking about kicking a FG on 4th down there, then run the ball on 3rd and 9. At least give the kicker something reasonable and well-placed directionally?

Number 2: Put an 18 year old kicker in the position to save your *** by kicking a 55 yard FG?

And, then the kid hits it. Wow. Congrats, Andres. I hope he sticks with us through the upcoming rollercoaster.

*The bolded was the only positive thought I had during the 15 minute walk back to the Green Lot.

We're going to have a solid kicker for the next 4 seasons. He should have made the shorter kick earlier, but he shouldn't have had to kick it in the first place. 55-yarder was clutch and probably would have been good from 60.

Borgy could have Huerta-esque career for Miami.

Kiddo looks, feela, acts, performs that good.

Missed FG was head scratcher

Huerta was the GOAT. The NCAA narrowed the goalposts during Huerta’s career at UM and when a reporter asked him how the narrower goalposts would affect him, Huerta said “they didn’t change the middle.”
