He could be really interesting on the fake aspect if he develops at kicker, especially if he also becomes the punter which I assume is the end game … but man. What a terrible game. As of now I wouldn’t be opposed to a transfer at kicker.
Remember when you made fun of KU football in the realignment thread? [Reply]

Our ST’s, and OL are just so bad, every year. It’s time to hire a ST’s coach finally. It’s time to fire the OL coach.
It was really unfortunate our RB got hurt the first drive, and his backup who’s a true freshman didn’t make the trip, assuming still from week one injury even though it sounded like he was coming back this week.
Congratulations though, we need the Big12 to be good during these times of conference realignment and negotiating our new media contract. There’s a lot of good teams this year, hopefully one not Oklahoma or Texas is good enough for the playoffs. It’s just harder to make it happen playing round robin in the strongest conference top to bottom.
