Right, any of probably 4-5 different plays goes our way and we win. That FG is one of them. I don't blame Ukropina for missing it or anything and clearly we had other chances to win, but you can't say that our kicking game as been aces this year. It's been a pleasant surprise for the most part, but it hasn't been a real strength. We're really missing Williamson on kickoffs, even if Ukropina is mostly duplicating his quality on FGs.
