Shout out to John Hohl and the place kicking guys

Been very worrying when these guys trotted on the field but great game today! Way to go!

 

[Nebraska Red]

Agreed. Kid was nails today. That should do nothing but help us going forward

Amazing what happens to a kicker when he is comfortable with the snapper and holder.

 

[Venture]

If only one of those could have been a touchdown.

 

[Beareye]

It makes a big difference when kicking a FG beyond 30 yards becomes a viable option. Great kicking by Hohl today. None of those FGs were easy kicks based on length and angle, and all were pretty much right down the middle with plenty of distance to spare.

 

[ReggieCross]

He did a awesome job today. As did the whole fg operation.

Hohl gets the game ball! Outstanding game today!!

Also set the NU record for the LONGEST FG on the road....CONGRATS to him, and increased his % from 20 to 50...

you may want to go back and look at those snaps, they were not great, props to the placeholder

Proud of this young man. He has hung in there and his hard work is starting to pay off.

 

[Mentally Red]

OK, now we've checked the boxes "able to kick field goals" and "able to punt without killing punter."

Next let's work on "able to field kickoffs"

Looks like hiring Brett Maher has helped him!

It’s going to be imported the rest of the way to know we can make a long field goal or any field goal. Great job!

 

[Muskrat]

Great to see.

I guess the only one I saw was the long kick and everything looked good. I get things can still get better, but I do truly believe that over the last couple of weeks, Hohl is getting more comfortable with the snap and the hold. That, and make 3 kicks in a game will boost his confidence. He will still have a hiccup or two going forward but I think his ability to shake off bad kicks has greatly improved.
