VIDEO: Florida's kicking game in shambles with walk-on dental student
Kim Klement-US PRESSWIRE
Ever wonder what football would be like without kickers? Well, Florida is providing a free demonstration of such a scenario in its game versus Vanderbilt.
With injuries to its other kickers, the Gators are starting midseason walk-on, and dental student, Neil MacInnes. Safe to say it's not going so well.
First quarter:
- On an early fourth-and-goal, coach Jim McElwain elected not to try a chip-shot field goal for a 3-0 lead. Instead, he left MacInnes on the bench, his offense on the field, and the Gators turned the ball over on downs after coming up short.
- MacInnes came out to try his first career extra-point attempt following a Florida touchdown. He yanked it wide left.
Second quarter:
- If McElwain didn't trust MacInnes on a chip shot, he sure wasn't going to trust him on a 43-yard attempt. The Gators faked the try, got stopped by Vandy, and turned the ball over on downs once again.
Moral of the story: never trust a dental student.
