At least we made it to ATL that yearWe had one a few years ago. Didn’t matter; though he did beat Vandy with a squirrelly kick while fending off enlisted walk-ons for the job.
Didn't SOS have good kickers most of the time
The 97 offense was not very goodI say this as I watch the 1997 Gators vs Clowns. It seems every time we have a crappy FG Kicker we have a good offense. Thoughts?
Yes he did, Collins Cooper was probably the worst he had. Couldn’t make a chip shot FG in OT to the Vols. For the most part, his kickers were pretty accurate that I remember.
I think Judd Davis left after the 94 season. It never gets old how he called out the FSU kicker saying if he was missing field goals the way Scott Bentley did, he would've been on the cover of Sports Illustrated instead of Bentley.Just off the top of my head - was it after that miss that Judd Davis took over? (One of the all time great Gator kickers.)

Lulz.The 97 offense was not very good
Lulz.
They werent very good by SOS standards, but they averaged 276 yards passing, 3 passing TDs, 145 yards rushing and 2 rushing TDs a game. We were used to seeing more like 350 yards passing, 200-250 rushing and two more TDs.

Yeah 97 was a letdown by our champion era standards. However it is pretty funny to call it that given what we have in the Mushchimp/McElstain/Mullinz era in which we are just hoping to score at all and not be 100th maybe.
Jeff Chandler took over following that. And ftr, Collins Cooper was a walk-on and not a very good one. Never should have been in that position.Just off the top of my head - was it after that miss that Judd Davis took over? (One of the all time great Gator kickers.)
