per the Great Toucan in discord, who said to comment to nominate others

 

KANSAS would like to nominate kicker JAKE RAMIREZ for the famed and notable GROZA Award.

 

Ramirez on the year has gone 13/16 on field goals, but his misses have all come from 50+. His make of 51 is the 2nd-Longest make in the nation, with his 3 rare misses coming from 51, 51, and 54. Ramirez isn't afraid to sacrifice a perfect kick % while kicking at a comfortable range in order to put the team on his back, and he also has a make of 49 which would be a deeper hit on its own than all but 4 other kickers in the nation.

 

Jake Ramirez. 2022. Groza.

Field Goal Completion %

Extra Point Completion %

Yards per Punt

 

Should all be in the interface stats so we can evaluate special teams better

[Ezaco]

double post, hiss

 

Bear Bryant Award Nominee: Michigan State AI. From #24 and 8-5 last year to currently 8-0 number one, primed to win the division and the B1G and head into the playoffs as the potential #1 seed. If we're going to nominate Texas State AI, Michigan State should be too.

[Vivid]

Just like to acknowledge Baylor doesn’t have a single player on this list…

[kgreene829]

Layblor?

[Vivid]

I’m not saying I disagree either tho. No one has stood out enough to be on these lists to be honest.

[kgreene829]

lol I get that I have a couple guys up for awards but I know that if we had awards for worst players I would have 1 locked in my kicker is really bad

[SageBow]

OLB Mike Saric UTAH - my son go get the Matt Howard award <3

[Weeze]

TXST Coach AI

 

You guys know what must be done.
