Jerry’s World has answer to OU’s kick coverage woes
Thanks to Jerry Jones for spending $1 billion on a stadium with a scoreboard too low. When the Cowboys played their pre-season game last week against the Titans the punters discovered they could easily kick footballs off the 60 yard long jumbotron that hangs 95 feet above mid field.
This could be the answer to Oklahoma’s poor kick coverage. If Tres Way and Jimmy Stevens can knock the pigskin off the huge TV screen it might distract the opponent’s return team just enough to give the Sooners an edge on kick coverage. Lord knows they need it. Last year Oklahoma was 102 out of 119 Division I teams in kick coverage. The Texas game was lost in large part due to a Longhorn kick return for TD that busted the game open.
Off the big screen, off the ceiling, over the hill, across the parking lot, and through the uprights. Kicking could be real interesting on September 5 when the Sooners play BYU at the new Cowboys stadium in Arlington.
