It's amazing that when a QB misses an open receiver or when a receiver drops a sure ball no one blames them but when a kicker misses a FG by inches it's all his fault. What if the holder placed the ball wrong causing the kicker to mishit it?

Twice? Both in very important parts of the game?

I'd never blame the place holder, thats just a lame excuse. The kicker choked!

He is not the first and not the last... WVU was 18 pt favorite over Pitt and Pat McAfee missed from 20 and 32 yards WVU lost 13-9 and they would have went to the national championship.
