we had one missed PAT on the weird shift (this is not conducive to a young kickers rhythm!) and two missed FGs one at 36 and one at 32. That’s abysmal even for high school. I know the starter was out. Plus the missed 2-point conversion. On the whole that was the only bad on the day, aside from a couple silly penalties.
Definitely first game jitters for the kicker Capser. After the first PAT was blocked I'm afraid 'it was in his head', hence the missed field goals down the road. Though keep in mind it was the kids' first college game. Because of Covid and such probably his first game in three, or four, years?
I suggest give the guy a break. Distance was not the issue. We know he can kick extremely well. Let's see if he can shake it off mentally. Next time up that will determine what kind of career he might have.
