The MT announcers were stunned!

Hell, I was stunned. I thought that was bad idea from the get go... I foresaw a blocked kick run back for a TD... thankfully, that did not happen. Olen made a fantastic kick!

and if he would have started from the beginning, the team would have had at least one more victory (assuming the xp success and victory in ot)

this kid is solid.

No, he was terrible in fall camp. Once he learned to kick off a tee, he was golden. Golden Olen.

True, but he couldn't beat out the walk on in the beginning. Something has just clicked the past several weeks. I remember Baz had the same turnaround.

Just in time.

He does in my book. He's now 10 for 12 for the season. Damn!

True and 1 miss came on a night when one of QB's got knocked out of the game, and they had to put someone in who didn't actually hold the ball for kicks (can't recall who it was)...

I wish we could have seen the kick, I saw it clear the line but that was it on ESPN 360 and the announcer start to say it was bad before it was good.

He had to learn to kick without the tee, off the ground in college. They can use the tee in high school. But, you're right he did look bad in fall camp. An amazing turnaround for a kicker in just a couple months.

it was when the punter got knocked out and carey had to hold.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
