[QUOTE="JogginFrog, post: 2942794, member: 4994"] I thought the [URL='https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30416293/sarah-fuller-winding-road-two-sport-immortality']backstory per ESPN[/URL] was interesting. Soccer team was practicing in the indoor football facility and the goaltenders practiced clearance kicks using the FG target. Fuller started at the 10 yard line and went back in 5-yard increments, hitting continuously up to the 45. That's 8 in a row, the last from 55 yards, albeit with a soccer ball. I could see that getting the attention of a special teams coach if all the placekickers were in Covid protocol. But I felt bad that Katie Hnida (UNM) and April Goss (Kent State) were asked to provide rah-rah quotes on Fuller's behalf. Those girls (and a few others) played high school football and spent years putting in the work that many walk-on kickers do to earn an opportunity. Fuller's story is a novelty and should have been framed that way, not as "historic." Given the novelty, her request to address the team at halftime was out of line, and the player-of-the-week award was ridiculous. Bob Sugar was right to point out deserving SEC special teams play that went unrecognized as a result. [/QUOTE]
