I have heard this said alot with OUs recent kicking struggles since Hartley left so I decided to look it up, I honestly didnt know what to expect...
This is the Top 15 teams based on the BCS rankings and how they have done with FGs
Oklahoma- 7/10 Long of 42
Oregon- 9/10 Long of 42
Auburn- 12/16 Long of 43
Boise St- 9/11 Long of 47
TCU- 6/6 Long of 43
Michigan St- 13/14 Long of 50
Missouri- 13/14 Long of 50
Alabama- 14/18 Long of 49
Wisconsin- 9/17 Long of 49
Ohio St- 12/14 Long of 42
LSU- 14/17 Long of 51
Nebraska- 9/9 Long of 52
Stanford- 11/11 Long of 46
Arizona- 6/8 Long of 47
As I said, I didnt know what I was going to get when I looked this up and I was typing this as I was looking it up. Now that ive looked at the numbers it makes me feel worse.
Going into this I figured it would be more up n down but I think 15 is a pretty good sample size and it is quite clear that whoever is evaluating the kickers that we recruit and whoever is coaching them needs to adjust their methods. It is staggering, it appears that every single team outside of maybe Zona has a legit kicker. Unreal, its tough to admit that your team sucks at something but this doesnt make me feel very good
