As UConn had the 4th and 4 and a potential 42 yard FG I had visions of watching Boatright as a frosh nail 3 FT's to put a game against FSU in his freshman year in to OT.

Tarbutt had a national reputation and had kicked pressure FG's in high school much longer. On the road, hostile crowd, put him in and see what he has. At a minimum it gives you a reference point.

And it also puts the rest of the FG kicking team on film.

I would be very surprised if the ST coach doesn't have some one on one time with Diaco on the flight home.

XP's can't be a variable for the team going forward.
 
Wasn't it Central Florida?
 
Tarbutt is a career o/1 on FG's. That was not the spot to put him in. Based on the play the FG would likely have been blocked. I would have been good with kicking or going for it. The fake was the only wrong move there.

I think I'd rather see one kicker. Let them battle it out and go from there. Of course it will do no good unless they straighten out the blocking.
 
Today's game sort of reminded me of our game at Virginia. We all know what happened when Virginia made their return trip to the Rent. :)
