……Grupe is missing at about 35% of his FG’s. He has a hook to it that he cannot consciously eliminate, and he thus tries to play it. But sometimes, the hook isn’t there (like against Navy). He is like a bad golfer with a hook on a somewhat narrow golf coarse. Shorter FG’s allow him to power the kick without the hook being able to manifest itself. But longer FG’ allow it to occur, and then we have a crap shoot of whether he adjusted correctly.
When you consider that a FG is 3 points and a TD is 7 points, and when you consider our OL and our backs, this should be a no brainer for anything 3 yds and under at that distance. With Grupe, I’d go for it on any effort over 35 yds.
