Yes, congratualations are in order for Big Bird - I think last night marked his first ever collegiate field goal, in his home state no less. Impressed FIU commentators said he split the posts, and he "wellied" the pigskin (as in "give it some welly!" (rugby lingo)) with a good 10 yards to spare. If that is a precursor for the rest of his career, the future could well be orange.

They sure did. Rojas looked (to me) like we had kidnapped him from the NFL, and Big Bird hit not one but TWO field goals. That's got to be a huge load off his shoulders.

Special teams were a lot better. Obviously, we have room to grow, but considering we actually forced the Panthers into some mistakes on special teams -- it was a heck of a performance overall.
