His long was 52?? I thought Wile hit that one?
Nevertheless, he's been stellar since Hoke has been here and I no longer fear when our kicker has to go out there.
You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.

Ahh, I just looked it up. I thought Wile hit a 50+ against MSU but it was only 48. I actually know less by being at the games than I do when I watch on TV. Also, I was probably distracted trying to watch Nebraska and the World Series at the same time in my house.

I'm still amazed he hit the 52 yarder. The wind was at his back, but 52 yards?

While I don't think he'll win the Groza Award
To date, he is probably your first team Big Ten place kicker, which even after last year, seemed dubious to start the season. But both MSU's kicker and Nebraska's kicker have struggeled this season (coming into the season they were two of the better kickers).
He does have compitition from Iowa's kicker (15/18; long 50) and NW kicker (11/12; long 42) but that's about it, and to date I would say Gibbons beats both of them, which both great and amazing to see.
Kickers are strange
Example: Tulane Kicker Cairo Santos. 14/14 on the season with a long of 57 and 2/2 from 50+. But 20/21 on extra points...
Thats not really that
Thats not really that strange. Missing 1 after 20 attempts, no matter how easy it is, can occur due to some fluky thing. Maybe the holder had a bad hold for that 1 missed PAT.

Good for Gibbons...what great turnaround.
Incredible turn around that
Incredible turn around that Gibby's even in the discussion.
Absolutely astounding
Absolutely astounding turnaround. He was one of the worst kickers in college football a few years ago and I dreaded watching us line up for a field goal. Now it has turned close to automatic.
FWIW, he only attempted five
FWIW, he only attempted five FGs in 2010. Seth Broekhuizen attempted nine.
Good for him
Didn't see it two years ago, just another good thing about our coaches perhaps.
HAIL.

Another fine example. Well done, young man.

It's fitting that your title
It's fitting that your title actually has to clarify what the Lou Groza award is since our fan base is not familiar with such things from recent years.
Damn right
Damn right he is

The improvement of our kicking game really mirrors the improvement of the whole team over the past several years. Very happy for him and he couldn't have had much better of a season thus far.

I've thought this too. The
I've thought this too. The across-the-board improved confidence has been very noticeable.
It seemed like in 2010 his extra points barely even made it to the net. Now he is hitting 52 yarders. It gives hope for continued improvement in all facets.
When the game comes down to
When the game comes down to the line and we need a clutch field goal, I'm finally confident again that we'll make it. He had game winners in the Sugar Bowl and against MSU a few weeks ago, its good that he's finally being recognized

That's hilarious. Next thing
That's hilarious. Next thing you know you're going to try and sell me on the idea that Michigan has a good defense too.
Hardy-har-har OP. Good one!

A Michigan fan that has been under a rock since 2010
I'm tempted to go back to 2010
And check some of those posts that mercilessly ripped him....but you know who you are.

GIBBONS YOU GO WIN THAT AWARD
/just kidding with you Gibbons but seriously great work and hope you win. If not you've been invaluable to the team which is great in and of itself.
Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.
If it means anything, Groza
If it means anything, Groza was a brunette. But, ya know, he's not a girl..
Gibbons Names Semifinalist for Award (Best Knocker)
Well at least he'll definitely win
MOVEMBER!
Brunette Trophy
It is black now but for him they should make the trophy brown like it was a few years ago.
I guess the tip coach Hoke gave him really helped!
GO BLUE!
