An excuse cannot be made for a SHANKED extra point. It's inexcusable. My friggin little sister could make a XP. Find another kicker.I wouldn’t blame the kicker
Let’s say he hits the kick he missed and then one after the Pierce TD. Bama would have gotten the ball back with 3 minutes and all (I think) of their time outs. Do we honestly believe our brilliant DC would have stopped Bama from getting a least a FG?

When he missed it I just chuckled because who honestly thought it would make any difference in the outcome at the time.
in the end the deciding factor was a missed xp
Maybe it is Lou Groza? (For the older aged crowd)
I think most of us hope that you are just kidding.I wish nothing but the worst for this kid.
I didn’t say he should be excused; A D1 kicker should hit every XP, assuming everyone on the field does their job. My point is simply the loss should not be blamed on him. (I also never saw a replay of the miss; were the snap and the hold good?)An excuse cannot be made for a SHANKED extra point. It's inexcusable. My friggin little sister could make a XP.

He gets his share of blame for the loss, as he was a part of it. The #1 team rolls into town and you shank a XP?

He gets a share of the blame, along with a bunch of others, but I know we can all come up with bigger culprits.
