    • You could not ask for a better situation in the kicking game than what the Tigers have. The kicker and punter are both back for their sophomore and junior seasons respectively, and one is on an awards watch list.

    Kicker Colby Delahoussaye is back after having about the best season you could have for a freshman kicker. I always stress that kickers struggle their first few kicks in FBS games, but that was not the case for Delahoussaye. He made 13 of 14 kicks and was a perfect 3 for 3 from beyond 40 yards, nailing a 49-yarder in the process. His did have one miss from 30 to 39 yards out, but that was it. He was perfect within 30, and that one miss was an aberration, as was one extra point miss he had. Delahoussaye is on the Lou Groza Award Watch List, and he will be everything you want in a kicker this year: reliable, accurate, and able to nail long kicks.

    Jamie Keehn will be punting as he enters his junior season, after last year was his first year as a starter. He was pretty good, averaging just over 41 yards per punt, but he’s not on any awards watch list. However, with a tougher defense this year and an offense expected to rely more on the running game, field position could be much more important this year, so he might be called upon more. Keehn has shown he can answer the bell, especially if you look at the bowl game agains Iowa, so there should be no problems here.
