6.  You all are underestimating Jordan Williamson, who I think is probably Stanford's best all time placekicker. 

WTF? This opinion rivals BI in stupidity.

This  is one point from Teejers actually worth reflecting upon.

Williamson is perhaps the most fan-abused kicker at Stanford all-time; primarily based upon the Fiesta Bowl - echoed a couple of times (S.-C. this year). But he has strengths that might give him a claim to the title that Teejers bestows.

First stats.
Williamson is #1 all time in number of field goals made at 62, perhaps still countin. Second is Harmon at 59.
Williamson is #4 all time in career FG percentage - 70.5%  (minimum 20 attempts). First is Nate Whitaker at 80.5%. Also behind Zagory and Harmon.
Williamson is tied for first for most consecutive extra points - 71.
Williamson is #3 all time for extra point percentage and kicked a ton more than the two ahead of him (combined).

Williamson has had some bouts of inconsistency, particularly when he was hooking the ball. But he probably has the strongest leg of any kicker I can remember for Stanford. He regularly gets touchbacks on kickoffs, at least when he isn't told to kick toward the corner in the field of play.

If Williamson isn't the best all time kicker, then I would probably go with Nate Whitaker. He was more consistent (though he missed a surprising number of PATs) but his leg was not nearly as strong.

Garnanzo Bean Garcia for most clutch kicker!
