Until he missed the FG against NIU, what had he done to lose the job?

How many attempts this year? I know it's not many.

2/4, makes of around 25ish, two misses of 43 + 44.

Thanks.

I think the jury is still out on the kid. I do wish they had kicked it a little sooner on Saturday. I felt like they gave him too much time to think about it. Nerves kicked in.

Bielema wanted to fake it, he said so, but they didn't get the look.

I missed that one. The effect was the same though.

Not the point at all.  The question is why he was kicking from the get go.  Zach Hocker was 16 of 19 as a true freshman.  As you said above, I've been through all of this already.  The puzzling thing is not why Henson didn't lose the job.  It's why Hedlund was redshirted in favor of Henson.

You paraphrased Bielema in another thread.  I don't know what he actually said, but what you wrote is that Bielema said Henson was "stroking the ball very well in camp, and that's why he won the job."  Could he have chosen those words carefully?  After the Auburn game, Bielema said he punted twice from the 35 because the coaches decided before the game the max range for a field goal would be 42 yards.  This is the first game we're talking about.  42 yards?  Are you kidding me?

Did you watch the PC?

The sun has been a factor in several games at Jerry's World. As to the question asked, I'm not sure. I do know that when Dean was back for the last A&M punt he was starring directly up and into the sun from the west end of the stadium.

It bodes the question, what idiot thought it was a good idea to have glass panes on the west side of a stadium when the afternoon sun and setting sun will be shining through? Based on the overall size of Jerry World why wasn't it build so the field was facing N/S?
