Yes, but we have a way of ruining kickers. This has been an ongoing problem. The rush gets to our kickers on a regular basis far more than it does for any team I've ever watched.
Doesn't change the fact that our kickers face issues even many lower-team kickers don't. I watch a LOT of college football. Even games that many don't find interesting. UM kickers have pressure breaking through the lines more consistently, on a game after game, kick after kick basis than I see even when watching Alabama or Clemson going after some low-level FCS kicker. It just amazes me how that after 3-5 years at least of that being a problem, we can't figure out how to do something as simple as block.I don’t think we ruin kickers we just never make them any better. We had a run of pretty good punters and nobody will give him credit but Jersey Mike was solid. He might not have been perfect but he was taken for granted. I would kill to have him right now
