I agree, not voting on this one unless Nuge gets added. I liekn it to Rice, everyoen knows he's Hall of Fame material, even though he is still playing. Say it with me now:


NUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEE

agreed. that dude was a very poor kicker. i remember when one team blocked one of his kicks (maybe an extra point) and they were interviewed after the game and the guy said "well he has a reputation for kicking the ball really low so we just knew we had to get our hands up to block it".

jackson shouldn't be an option to vote on.

On accuracy alone Nuge is the best.... but my gosh has he got a prime time leg. That 52 yarder he drilled would have been good all day long at 60 I couldnt believe how high in the net that ball landed. Ive never seen a kicker with his accuracy and strength. He is clearly the nations best

You can throw out the numbers from Nuge's senior year and put him in on the basis of his first three years.

Better question for Nuge might be this one (might require some research). How does Nuge rank among the best kickers ever to play college football? I don't even know where to start on that one.

That's a tough question, but I think you have to start looking from the point where the goalposts were narrowed and tees were no longer allowed to be used. Not sure when both of those occurred, but I'm willing to guess that Nuge has to be one of the best college kickers ever based on no tee and NFL width goalposts.

I looked it up once and there was a kid named Lee, I think, that kicked for UCLA in the 80's that will never be caught in terms of career fgp or fg's. I don't remember the exact numbers but they were waaayyyy out there.

I'll see if I can dig it up again.

EDIT***********

Official NCAA FG Records I don't even see that kid from UCLA so it must have been a single season or something. Anyway this is straight from the NCAA.org site
