"Dead heat" at kicker per Paul Rhoads

[ChrisMWilliams]

That's what coach told me after today's practice.

It's currently a "dead heat" between Cole Netten and Edwin Arceo. More information coming.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

This is not news I was wanting to hear. Come on Netten! You are supposed to be our PK savior.

 

[Frak]

Just my opinion, but I think that Arceo gets the nod. Netten will either RS or get kickoff/long FG duties.

Dead heat as in "they're both just awesome and we're waiting for someone to miss one" or dead heat as in "they're both so bad we're waiting for someone to make a kick"?

 

[MLawrence]

Well this is going to calm the nerves of the ISU faithful.

 

[cobraclone71]

I'm going to read between the lines and assume this is because neither of them have missed a kick since the starting of camp.

Kool-aid anyone?

 

[Cyclonz]

It is mind boggling to me that there are not better kickers in this world. What a great way to get a free education, just kick the ball through the goal posts how hard can this be.

 

[Ciclone]

They both have great "kicker names" so I think we'll be just fine.

After watching the spring game this does not make me feel good.

 

[Palmer]

yippee...another battle if lesser evils.

 

[tim_redd]

Hopefully it's just coach speak. Make the freshman earn the job. Don't let him get the feeling that the position was handed to him.

 

[Cyhart]

How do we know Arceo isn't good? Good enough, anyway. I guess I don't see how we are so certain its a "lesser of two evils" at this point.

Did you go to the spring game? If hes the winner, we have problems.

Kudos to him if hes improved since.

No, I wasn't at the spring game unfortunately. That bad huh? Well, let's hope for the best I guess!

I think all positions on the team are a "dead heat" except Knott's and Klein's.

Not sure if serious...

 

[cycfan1]

Think VDK has the punter position all but wrapped up

Gotta agree with this...don't overthink it

I'll have some of that Kool-aid.

You did notice that Arceo was the one who actually made his FG's? I don't expect him to have much leg, but I think he'd be okay on PAT's and short stuff. Um, Shaggy-esque short stuff.
