Can't help but wonder if Zirkel didn't have a FG blocked, what the last Aggie drive would have looked like, needing a touchdown and not two scores? The kicking game, FGs and punting, is going to catch up with us in the playoffs.

It has been a disaster all season. Kicking and punting.

What if we went in to half up 21-6?

Who gives a ***** It's Sunday.

Yeah, I think it's been overlooked a bit, but the fact we missed two field goals early, so there's 6 points to take a chunk out of the margin of 10. And how much did the fact we can't kick FG's change our game plan the rest of the game because we had to go for TD's with basically every subsequent drive.

And our punt protection is awful. I think it was maybe 3rd quarter there was the one punt I was literally shocked he got it off. And we have had multiple punts blocked this year. Our special teams is a complete disaster this year, even with the best punt returner in the country.

We only missed one FG.

While the O was horrific and the D collapsed in the 2nd half, this game still game down to 3 things imo:

- Special Teams - Not only the missed FG but our punting game gave them good starting position all night
- Sloppy OL critical drive killing penalties
- Turnovers - All on Marcel, and he could have had several more the way he was forcing his passes

You also miss all the ones you don't take

We need to hit the portal for kickers.

Yup. They damn near blocked a punt too. I'm amazed we keep trotting out that formation without just simplifying it
