K-P Matt Szymanski out today

[ALEX LIFESON]

With Matt out tonight, Marcelo Sada takes over kickoffs, fieldgoals and hopefully a lot of extra point duties. I hope we don't lift Mike Loftus redshirt. Matt Stone will handle punt duties, hopefully we won't see him much, but he did punt once last week. BEAT UTEP!!!

UTEP's offense will start every drive at their own 40.

I find that ridiculous that we can't find someone who can kick it into the end zone on a routine basis.

I'm normally all in favor of preserving red-shirts, but with Matt out so much, and the importance of the kicking game, AND with the conference championship in sight, I hope they put the best player out there regardless of class status.

We have one, but he's injured, Helllllooooooo!

I agree. If Loftus is a clear improvement over the alternatives then I hope he plays. Somehow I think we would be able to find a kicker in the next 3 years before he uses up his eligibility. It is not like we are talking about giving up a full 4th year of play for a QB or other position player - this is a kicker.

On the other hand, given his greyshirt last year and potential redshirt this year, I am pretty jealous of his potential 6 years in college.
