Nope. Steven missed the entire year due to injury.

No, Verdisco got injured preseason and did not play.

That's good form and he could even add more distance if he works on his approach and follow through. Lots of stretching will help get that extra follow through. Really gets under the ball too, that will help prevent the ball getting blocked at the LOS.

What’s the back story here? I missed it somehow.

I think he got injured in August?

Him being injured is mentioned in the board, but I can’t find a write up of what it was.

I believe he was the one most were expecting to win the job but got hurt before the season.

I believe he was hurt before he even got to campus last year and was going to be out the year.

Yea. Social post says he couldn’t even run at this time last year. So it’s been a long road to recovery. Hopefully he can contribute in 2021.

As we become more competitive our ability to execute in the kicking game to pickup 3 points; or not squander an easy XP will become much more important.
