I love a feel good story and if coach thinks she can help the team I'm all for her kicking. That said let's not act like it was this great kick. If you want to give the other team the ball at the 35 without risking a return just have your normal kicker boot the thing out of bounds.
Maybe learn a little bit about the situation before saying something dumb, "bro."
There's a reason Vandy didn't have their normal kickers do this. They are either out the season or quarantined due to covid. She was all they had. And she has never competitively kicked a football before (she probably had never kicked one period, but I can't say that for certain. She may have kicked one at some point with friends). They didn't even ask her to kick until a week ago. So even if she intended to bomb it (and we'll get to that later), that kick was by someone who has probably never kicked a football before outside of practice and definitely hasn't in a game, has had less than a week of practice, is on national television, and is representing her sex. Under those circumstances, even if she meant to bomb it, that is a damn good kick.
So now let's actually talk about the kick. I guess it's possible she meant to bomb it, but I really doubt it. She had a holder. Why? It wasn't windy. Most likely they did it because they've been teaching her how to kick field goals and so you have her perform every kick that way. But the problem with doing that is it puts you at a disadvantage if there's any return. She doesn't know how to tackle (and you don't want her to, she's the only kicker you have), the holder may not be the best tackler, and even if he is, he's just been holding and isn't going to be in a great spot to make a return. If you definitely don't want a return, that makes the squib kick the logical choice.
There's other evidence that shows this was probably intentional. All the Vandy players immediately start going that way; they knew where the ball was going. That suggests this was intentional. After she kicked, she also ran off the field almost immediately. That also suggests that she wasn't expecting a return and that the kick was intentional.
I guess there's still the question of why didn't they just kick it out of bounds if they didn't want a return? This gives them the chance for a fumble and recovery.
