Make those extra points....

And I'd have no complaints.

This game scared the hell out of me. So far, so good

[H-towngreen]

It's only been happening for the last 7 years

Olen has more misses on PAT's than he did last season.

[Christopher Walker]

The second one was blocked though, so it's not all Olen.

[TheFranchise]

The first one was partially blocked as well.

[meanrob]

Mean Green still playing hard. Love that.

Boo, fumble.

Dajon looks very poised.

[Mean Green 93-98]

They brought in Zach Paul for Olen, and the problem seemed to be solved. Olen seems to kick every kick with that low trajectory like he's trying to hit a 50-yarder. He might become our long distance specialist. Or at least leave PATs to Zach Paul.

It's a conspiracy! Bud Light Is paying him 50 bucks per miss so they do not have to pay 100 to the mean green club....

Olen needs to be nothing more than kickoff specialist

Yeah, the blocked kick was really low. The missed XP was just a shank.

One miss is one miss, while two misses is high school. Hope he straightens this out ASAP.

I believe that the problem may be over as it looks as if Zach Paul will kick the extra points. Zach Olen will do field goals, kickoffs and punt in special situations. Paul kicked 140 consecutive extra points in high school. He gets the ball up quicker than Olen but he doesn't have his distance. If true, score one for Coach Perry. As Marty said, "he sure has improved special teams". Punt and kick returner Chancellor is back to being his old self.

One of my main concerns every year, for as long as I can remember, has been our inability to execute during Punt returns. If my math is right, our punt return yardage Saturday was more than the past 7 years combined! Happy, Happy, Happy!

Our kicking game was just as big a reason that we lost at home against Troy as DT's poor play was. We didn't have to kick any FGs against Idaho, but I suspect that this week, those opportunities for points are going to involve FGs. If we cannot make those, especially on the road, we won't win more than a few more games, IMHO.

I will say this, though. DT played great, Chancellor proved to be a playmaker (again), and the defense looked good in the opener. We have two games on the schedule that we all should expect that UNT should win--this was one of them, along with UTSA later this year. I think that it is a good signthat we took care of business against a really bad team at home in a dominating fashion. To me, that shows progress. Last year, Texas Southern and South Alabama respresented those two automatic wins, but those games were oddly closer than they should have been. This Idaho game was pretty much over by the 2nd quarter.

Speaking of Chancellor, anyone else besides me hopes that we groom another punt returner during games that have clearly decided by the fourth quarter? I'd sure hate to take a chance on Chance' getting hurt running back a punt in a meaningless game.

Should be Jones. I have a feeling that Jones could be just as electric.
