PonyFans.com VIDEO: SMU kicker CHASE HOVER

[PonyPride]

SMU kicker/punter Chase Hover visited with PonyFans.com to discuss a number of topics, including the difficulty of handling the placekicking and punting jobs, how he has changed since last season and what he looks for when he visits a new stadium for the first time.

Haha -- can you tell I typed in his name without changing the format from Coach Petrucelli's post-game video?

Thanks for the heads-up. Fixed it .... and sorry about that, Chase (and Coach P).

Comfortable from 55-56 yards?

[PSCA]

Being comfortable 50-55, and being consistent are two different things … but you have to be comfortable first, so that’s good. Being consistent from 40-45 is big, I suspect our kicking i.e. (PAT and FG) will be much improved from last season. Chase has had a year to condition, perfect his craft, work on mechanics etc., after having been away for a period of time. Add that to a confident kicker, we should see not only more attempts, but success. That can make a huge difference in momentum swings, and the phsyci of a team … in particular a "D" that is playing its rear off.

Hey PP, between all the various sites that cover the "Stangs" daily (not promoting your comp). But, between all of you, every starter (some multiple times) and many non-starters have been interviewed with one exception, Cameron Rogers. I know he floats under the radar, and is not necessarily a fan favorite for some. We got JG, T-Reeds and SS views, Rogers is the fourth starter on a group with high expectations within the SMU family and outside. I’m curious to what his thoughts and perspective is leading up to the Baylor game. Hey, I love what you do … it’s just a suggestion.

Thank goodness. I was worried when I first saw it because Chris Petrucelli is doing a great job so far!

Good luck to Chase.

glad to have a reliable kicker. The year before was brutal. It's very important.
