Loftus . . . he is our only kicker! I hope he doesn't sit out!! Walk on kickers scare me...

[Alaric]

SMU should bite the bullit and redshirt ALL the Offensive Linemen, definitely Padron, all the Mini-me LBs, the DEs and most everybody else other than maybe guys like Darius Johnson, Donte McDade, James Scott, Gamble and a few others that are physically ready to play or play at positions where freshman can step in immediately. You are not helping the long term development of the program by playing true freshman at Offensive Line-in the long run you are hurting your program by forfeiting a year of physical development. Play them only because of emergencies. Padron is going to be split in half if he tries to play this year. For every freshman that plays significant minutes you are probably going to lose another game because of it. If we are going to play 15-18 freshman next year like last year then its going to be another long year on the Hilltop.

i'm guessing all or almost all the OL and Padron will redshirt but few others knowing JJ's history of playing true freshman

We got Symanski (sp?) from Texas A&M...We are fine at kicker for this year and next...

June was very clear...we're set for the next six years in terms of our kickers! We have two of the best.

Symanski was one of the Top kickers in the Country in High School. He struggled a tad at Texas A&M but he's is supposed to have a huge leg. Szymanski turned down offers from Oklahoma, Arizona State, California, UTEP and Tennessee to go to A&M-which is an unusally high number for a Kicker who often don't get offers. Kicked a 61 yard FG in High School. They show him Kicking Off, Punting and Place Kicking on Rivals-there are several kickoffs especially where he puts it 8 yards deep in the end zone. That's a real weapon these days.
