Glad to see you healthy Mitch! This will work out fine especially with Sorensen leaving on a mission after the season. He will come back ready to take over full time. But in his absence hopefull Mitch can do much better on kick-offs. Sorensen will do it this year but then it is all Mitch again the next two seasons and last season that aspect of his game often brought tears to our eyes - for the wrong reasons.

BYU has the "best kicker situation in the nation."

Sorensen has to get used to kicking without the distance boost of kicking at altitude as he did in Highshool.

RE: Freddie
Sorensen didn't kick atop Mt. Everest last season. I'm guessing the elevation at Bingham High and LES in Provo are pretty close.

Skeptic:
No doubt, Freddie is referring to lower altitude road games. Sorensen's road and home games in high school didn't vary much. Get it?

What I really hope improves is the punting game, especially with a new defense. We need better field position this year in the worst way. The longer fields we can defend, the more reps the defense will get to improve the unit to where it needs to be.

Sea level or LES, it doesn't matter, the kid has got a leg. As far as I'm concerned, 8 yards deep in the endzone boils down to nearly the same thing as 2 yards, a touchback is a touchback. Besides, it's not like the kickoff game plan changes with the altitude, just kick it as far as you can.
