Re-watched the Mangum vs Boise State hail mary and noticed something

We were down 3 points, with 4th and 7 on the 35 yard line. Did we really not have a kicker that could hit from 52? Obviously the hail mary worked out, but did we really have a higher chance of converting that 4th down rather than making a field goal from that distance?

We went about 10 - 15 years without a good kicker

Kickers have DRASTICALLY improved in the last 5 years or so. I'm not sure what happened

60 yarders are becoming somewhat routine in the NFL. That's insane.

Yup, low to mid 50 yarders are a no brainer now. Good chance of making it

NFL yes, I still see college kickers miss kicks over 40 yards quite often

The thing I see rewatching is I'm not sure Juergens was the intended receiver.

7:37am

Blackmon was the intended receiver on both TD passes that game

I was thinking the exact same thing at the time. Why aren’t we kicking this?

Trevor Samson’s career long was 45 yards.

Samson's long was 45. Never even attempted 50+

Also, it was just 4th and 7. I expect the main goal was just to get a 1st down.

Maybe it's battered fan syndrome, but 4th and 7 I lack faith in. I'm so

Probably the most amazing thing about that game is it was the week after the Hail Mary at Nebraska? It was

There was a hail mary attempt at the end vs UCLA - but it was intercepted.

Because we did the exact same thing. Mangum rolled right. UCLA knew

True. I was surprised that Boise didn't defend against it better, too.

We had a period where we couldn't hit consistently from much more than 35-40
