Need to change kickers NOW, before it costs them a game.

Does PSU have sports psychologist on staff? If so, this kid obviously needs that service. Regardless he needs to be replaced. His pattern is good opponent means missed fgs, bad opponent means no pressure and no problems.

It was interesting that Ryan Barker came in to kick the last XP instead of Chase Meyer

He’s 3/9 in his career. We’ve seen enough.

He's 3 for 9 in his career? Wow. I think that's a worse percentage than those straight-on kickers of the 1950s who also played another position.

By now it's obvious. The moment is just too big for the kid, and that has to be the last time he kicks in game action.

This nearly cost Penn State the game tonight and against a team with a better passing game, they are 3-1, not 4-0.

Fact. Apologies to the kids family and friends on here, but some kids just can't handle the moment.

Does the in-game misses factor into his analytics? Because James is all about the analytics.

Unfortunately we don't know if the alternatives are any better in the same situation.

Maybe Sander needs to down a couple IPAs just before kickoff. Only half kidding…

I'd imagine he lost his job with the 2 misses last week. Between last year and this year he's shown he doesn't have what it takes. FGs inside 45 yards need to be made about like 90%+ these days.

We didn't know last year either and that's not an argument to keep running him out there.

Don't have any info on Barker other than his PAT attempt. We do have some idea of what Chase Meyer is like in actual games - he was 17-20 last year at Tulsa and kicked at least one game-winning FG. Sounds like he's money inside 40 and had a long of 47. I would definitely take that over what we've seen from Sahaydak.
