OGrad, I'm sensing the exact same thing......they're doing some serious backpaddling.
"Hmm, the guy we made out to be the unfortunate victim of a "football factory" turned out to be a worthless p.o.s. and isn't going to amount to squat?.....Well, let's make it look like he put too much pressure on himself and actually tried too hard. That'll assure him a little bit of sympathy, and make us look more like actual jouralists. Brilliant!

5. Ohio State's Mike Nugent is the best kicker in the draft, but he may have hurt himself by failing to drive a single kickoff into the end zone.

That's hard to believe. They should look at clips of his kickoffs in The Game and the Alamo Bowl. In the bowl game, there was on off-sides penalty on one of our kickoffs and Nugent had to re-kick from the 30 (as in the pros), and he still blasted it five yards into the end zone. If you watch his 55-yard game winner against Marshall, that kick would've been good from 60+. He's got a huge leg.

this is absolutely horrible journalism...or is it backpedaling to plug the gaping holes being busted in his initial story??
|
I think this is a little of both really....I am not suprised by anything Tom Friend puts on paper concerning MOC.
The kid has had his opportunities, now its over.

I was a little surprised at this too. Heck - Nuge can kick it through the uprights on kickoffs. |

Exclusive!
Well, it looks like there may be some truth to the comment Clarett made about participating at OSU's "pro day." I hear OSU has invoiced the purchase of this -
What else should I assume OSU's athletic department needs that for?

For those questioning the Nugent kick performance......
the NCAA lets kickers use "old" and "soft" balls exclusively for kicking.....these used footballs travel much, much better than the NFL balls....
the NFL makes kickers use brand new (much harder) footballs for all kicks....that's why Nugent's kicks are not going as far.....his leg strength is still there, its just that the balls dont travel as far....
he will adjust and be just fine....
