Haven’t seen a lot of discussion about this. A lot of talk about when the offense later in the game was playing to tie the game with a FG but not this 1st quarter decision. I’m aware Ryland missed a 35 yarder but you’d like to see the team have confidence in their kicker who was drafted for his huge leg. The guy was money at Maryland and for a team that 3 points is huge for you’d like to see them be able to kick 50+ field goals.

Wonder what the pressure factor is like kicking a 54 yarder in the 1st quarter or kicking a 35 yarder knowing the game is over if you miss.
