Going back to the bigger point -- for all his difficulties, he's still roughly average in the PAC-12.  He's not on track to be all-conference, but he's certainly not the disaster that some folks seem to think.  Kicking is hard, and there aren't very many college kickers that do it really well. 

He ranks 87 out of 100 kickers in the FBS in overall FG%.  Compared to the rest of the nation, he's well below average.  Only 2 Pac-12 kickers have lower FG% than Williamson, so I don't think that means he's average in the Pac-12 either (though I suppose your definition of "roughly average" is subjective as well).  If you still want to say that he's average in the Pac-12, recognize that it's in a conference of low-quality kickers as there is only 1 Pac-12 kicker in the top 40 in the nation in FG% (and he's 36th). 

And to clarify on my personal expectations for FGAs under 40 yards, I don't expect every attempt to go in.  But I do expect at least, let's say, 75% of FGAs from 20-39 yards to go in - and that's reasonable right?  Williamson is currently 7/12=58% for 20-39 yarders. 

Again, I don't hate the kid or don't want him to succeed, and I'm not saying he's a disaster.  But....

judging from some of the comments you read you would think we were 1-6.

Not sure if you're referring to me, but I never complained about the team's record or anything.  Though since you bring it up, it could be argued that Williamson missing a 20-29 yarder during the ND game cost us the win...

Otherwise, I'm just voicing and using numbers to back up much of the fanbase's displeasure with our kicking situation.  Don't think there's anything wrong about that...
