Slow news day.
Be that as it may, Oklahoma State is undoubtedly happy to add a kicker who will likely succeed All-American and Lou Groza semifinalist Quinn Sharp.
The Oklahoman reports that former UCLA kicker Kip Smith has transferred to Cowboys and will sit out a year to satisfy NCAA transfer requirements. The school has yet to officially announce the addition.
The former No. 1 kicker in the country in 2010 according to Rivals.com, Smith earned the starting duties for the Bruins this past year before suffering a season-ending injury after just two games. Smith’s decision to transfer came earlier this spring.
Sharp will be a redshirt senior this year.

I guess it would have been too much for us to land a kicker who can, you know...actually kick?

Meh, at least our kicker didn't cost us a perfect season.

D'OH HO HO! :stunned:

Knowing OSU's luck, this kid will be another 1st team AA as soon as Sharp is gone. Whatever happened to the day and age when OSU surrendered back-breaking punt return touchdowns and pushed last-second field goals wide right? :D

Kickoffs or field goals? I think the Sooners are in great shape in the latter department for the next few years barring a sophomore jinx this season. We don't need to talk about the former though.
