[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 759725, member: 4015"] When Pepper Rogers played quarterback and kicker for one of Dodd's great teams in the 1950s the Jackets went to the Orange Bowl and Pepper, being Pepper, was screwing up badly in practice. Coach Dodd was a player's coach by 1950s standards but he was a stickler for special teams play especially kicking. He watched Pepper shanking kicks right and left and got absolutely furious. Pepper calmly told him in so many words: "Look, Coach how many people are in the stands now?" "None" Dodd admitted. Well, tomorrow when the stands are full I will make them. Naturally, Pepper comes on to make the game winning kick at a difficult angle, throwing his hands up, before the ball went through the uprights. Kickers have to have that game day mentality. Some got it, some don't. [/QUOTE]
