With the power and prestige that Saban commands with recruiting, why does the Bama kicking curse still continue?
You would think that would be a non-issue instead it remains reliably unreliable.

Saban is the greatest coach we've had..he can't even answer this question

The kicking game was AUs strength. That kid and his brother are unreal. With all the 5* players BAMA has.....how do they not have 2-3 kickers

I watched a high school aged fan kick a 25 yard fg during a timeout. I watched a recruited scholarship athlete miss one.

Well, if you’re looking for excuses, it was Saban’s 2nd string kicker. He was also playing his 2nd string qb. He called me about half way through and asked me if I wanted to play LB because he was out of them. I sincerely think bama played well just to hang in the game. I thought AU would win by at least a TD. Congrats to all the Aubs.

I dont know but if Saban had a great kicker every year he would have won about 8 championships at Bama. Funny how that little part of the game has cost him several national championships!

Kickers are head cases the same as relief pitchers. I think the same pressure that Saban puts on the rest of the team, that gets them mentally prepared to play at their best, is the same pressure that breaks kickers. These guys that have been kicking at Alabama aren't scrubs no one else wants. They are kickers that are highly successful in high school. I have no other good guesses and it's become more than just a coincidence. I think it's the pressure and that pressure is exponentially higher at a school like Alabama.

They said tonight that no team in football history has missed more field goals than AL under Saban. It’s pitiful. That field goal was not the straw that broke the camels back. Two turnovers that led to 14 points is. Mack jones actually played one heck of a game I thought.

The 2 turnovers that caused 14 points were pick six's from Mark Jones. Not sure how that equates with your statement above?

I wonder if it has anything to do with having a QB as the holder? I wonder if the kickers would feel more comfortable if they had a dedicated holder to work with them during the entire practice as well as the game instead of a backup qb holding for only part of the practice? Just a thought...

Jones turnovers were to much to overcome, but he still played a good game despite those turnovers. The defense, was just plain pathetic

Really? if you listened to the game tv ref. said it was reviewable, therefore the clock starts on the snap, once the ball is snapped play is not over till the whistle blows

Or did I just get hooked and fileted?

Incorrect. The clock starts on the ready for play whistle. It is supposed to take 3 seconds to be able to snap the ball after a ready for play whistle. They should not have been able to get a play off. However, if Bama hadn’t given up 2 pick 6’s, the field goal wouldn’t have been an issue. Once again beating themselves.

Those are my thoughts on it also. Kickers are a fragile minded group and I don't imagine there are many around that handle what Saban dishes out very well.

Also, my thoughts don't mean diddly squat, so if we keep Gus, bammer can keep its kickers.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Did Saban not call a timeout? He and the team were in the tunnel to the locker room. From the stands it looked like he called timeout,


In that case, the clock doesn’t start until the snap.

Bill may be on to something with the pressure. May just be the succes of the program puts the pressure on them. FSU had the same problem back in the 80's. They missed several easy FG's that cost them National Titles. And I don't think Bowden was the pressure kind of coach like Saban.
