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:

  1. 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.
  2. MacInnes came out to try his first career extra-point attempt following a Florida touchdown. He yanked it wide left.

Second quarter:

  1. 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.
