Jon Semerene will be the kickoff guy this year.

[Genghis Cane]

Via the new depth chart. He sat out from football last year, but he's back now.

Some people might see this as a small and irrelevant change, but I think its huge. Last year we couldn't kick the ball past the other teams 10 yard line, and the hang time was atrocious for Badgley.

Teams were regularly starting their drives around our 35 yard line, and sometimes even past our 40. With more touchbacks expected from this kid who apparently has a cannon for a leg, I think that will help us in a big way.

Won't have to use him much.

I'm lost - who is this guy and how do you know he will get touchbacks?>

Should be starting over bagley or whatever his name is too imo

 

[duke4heisman]

What happened to Josh Bacon?

 

[blackvern]

This Jon Semerene?

 

[AUcane]

No. that's another walk on

 

[___THEU___]

Obvious those kicks in video were severely wind aided but big leg will come in handy on kickoffs for sure.

 

[kennesaw_cane]

Kicker with no sunshine...We back?

This Jon Semerene?

Yeah, looks just like the guy in the video.

 

[daddacane]

Okay I give up....Why didn't we use him last year if he could get it in the end zone ?

 

[the storm]

Badgley will stick to FG's. Semerene will handle kickoffs. Good news.

He decided to not play football last year so he could deal with some personal/family issues. Now he's back.

 

[canestampa]

How many years ago?

 

[canestampa]

What are the issues?

 

[canestampa]

Should we send into endzone or within the 20? With endzone comes to the 25 is that really what we want? And the fans on this blog wont be happy with either, they just love to hate

The only kick off I am interested is the opening kickoff against Bethune.

That signals an instant drop in Al's buyout and Al is officially on his way out!!
