My nephew was Sumpter's long snapper at Spain Park. I sent him a text during the game and asked if Tyler could place kick. He said YES (I seem to recall he kicked some for SP that were out of range for their place kicker), just needs to hone his accuracy. He said he has a strong leg (which we've seen). I say, give him a shot. It can't get any worse. I know he can kick and that’s what I said. He at least deserves a chance Did you play last year and see him kick in practice? If so, is he accurate enough to do the job?

We are 1-5 on FG's with the one bouncing off a upright. His last kick against USA almost landed in the SOTS. How inaccurate could Sumpter be???

Looks like Sumpter will take over the field goal and extra point duties this week.

If Sumpter doesn't work, I hope the next step is to trot out a lineman with square-toed cleat and a straight on approach to the ball.

During pregame, each of three kickers kicks 1 from the 10, 2 from the 25 and 2 from the 40. Most kicks thru wins the start. Ties, each man gets 1 from the 50, closest man wins.

Legassy on a full ride has to be one of the worst athletic scholarship decisions ever made by Troy.
