It’s almost like every Utah State fan knew deep down that if
the Aggies were going to win that game, they couldn’t let it come down to
kicking. None of the kickers on the roster have shown any consistency, or
really even capability to make kicks from anywhere outside of a PAT, and even
that is never a guarantee.
As amazing as this team’s defense has been so far this
season, and as good as the offense has managed to be despite playing
back-to-back games against teams who could very well end up playing each other
in the Rose Bowl, we’re one solid special teams performance away from being 3-0
Before I go on though, let’s get one thing clear: DO NOT be
the kind of asshole that goes and harasses Josh Thompson at wherever he lives,
or dishes out hate on Facebook or Twitter. Yeah, he hasn't been very good at kicker, we’re
all well aware of that by now, and to talk about that among company online or
whatever is totally ok. He can’t be loving life right now as is, and having some
overly-reactive stranger who goes out of their way to tell him he sucks won’t
do him or the team any good. Plus, it just kinda makes you look like an asshat if
you’re that guy. Just respect the guy’s space. He's still a member of this team, and who knows, maybe he'll come through with some kind of epic heroics later this season (a winning field goal at BYU would suffice Josh).
