The players with higher FG% than Jake Oldroyd’’s 73.5% (long 54)

Last year really tanked Jake's numbers and skew the perception of him. For some

Kicking is as mental as it is physical - he’s done.

I think he can work it out (like adjusting in golf) - hope he comes back

This is true, but IMO, Jake's issues in the past were more mechanical than anything else.

I couldn’t disagree with you more. Jake’s mechanics are elite.

IMO Kalani should have shown more confidence in him especially in games where it didn't matter if he missed or made it.

Oldroyd also had the highest made percentage of XPs in BYU history right? 97.9%

Which FGs did he miss that were "clutch" or "needed"? The 3 games he missed FGs in, two were wins and one a blowout loss

He missed the game winner vs Baylor twice. End of regulation, and first OT.

Good point. Fortunately, it didn't cost us the win.

ManicBlue

None of those cost us a win. On the contrary, he has actually won games for us.

Do you not remember the disaster he was last year? Wake up.

Look at his stats instead of just going off emotion. Lame.

ManicBlue

Truth is lame? Whatever. I look at the fact. He isn't a good kicker.

Give us all some details to your "fact". We'll wait.

ManicBlue

Clearly you dont want to acknowledge facts presented

DazeofBlue

Clearly you don't know how to read actual stats.

*Sighs* Are you family? Sorry but Jake isn't good. He chokes.

smh ... do your own research instead of relying on someone else's opinion. Actually look at his stats and stop

ManicBlue

Exactly right. Oldroyd’s one of the greats - try sticking to facts instead of

Those few games do not reflect his entire career. Try not painting with such a

That’s just factually wrong. Are you Justin Smith’s dad or something? All-

Do you not remember that he didn’t cost us any games? Do you not remember

Pigskin Pete

Personally, I wish he’d come back. His replacements ain’t doing so well.
