McBuckets Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 Decided to take a look at some of the numbers since everyone seems to be so concerned about our extra points. Stevens is 74-76 97.3% on his career for XPs. That is the same career percentage as Adam Vinatieri and Mason Crosby (almost the same as Matt Prater 97.4%). Last year in the NFL there were only 5 kickers who had a XP% higher than 97.3%. Just to put things into perspective, obviously nobody wants to see points left off the board but I think we need to put the pitchforks away and trust he gets it together. I’m confident he gets it back going this next Saturday and hoping to see some more success on his FG attempts as well. 4 Quote

AJS Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 If it happens again (missed XP) in the first half, I would prefer UND to stop chasing points. Line up the next time and try another XP. I think they are now 0-4 on 2 pt conversions. 3 Quote

Seems like our passing game is perfectly set up for short yard gains, plus our O-line has shown it can get a push for a couple yards at will, plus we have Quincy who always seems to get 2-3 yards when you only need 1. Haven't seen many of the attempts, but I am guessing we are getting too cute in the play calling?? Quote

Keep in mind, SDSU kickers career long is 45 yards, and NDSU kickers career long is 47 yards. Don't think many teams at this level are attempting 50+ yard field goals. 1 Quote

Prior to this year he has been good on Extra points and FG's under 40 yards. But from over 40 he is 2-8, making a 41 and 42 yard FG's. Below are his stats from the last two seasons. I don't hate him, I just hate that we have a 25% percent on kicks over 40 yards. And of the 6 misses, some of them have been really really bad misses....not even close. I hope he drills a 49 yard FG sometime and gets some confidence in his long kicks. On the bright side, he hasn't missed on FG's under 40 yards. 12-12 under 40 is obviously as good as you can get.
