Vandy used a female kicker and the team is so bad, she only kicked off once and never got a shot to do anything else. She play GK on the soccer team and goes 5’11” and weighs 180, so bigger than most guy kickers. She had 4 days to practice kicking.
Her one kickoff was awful but the Twitter sphere was a buzz with her achievement, the first female to play power 5 football.
Note, a female kicked was on Colorado but xferred to New Mexico where she kicked actual field goals hence the power 5 qualifier. Also another female kicked for Kent State...among a few lower division kickers as well.
Seems like somewhat of an over reaction by people on how historic this really was, would have been nice if she actually got to kick an XP. Comes off as a publicity stunt as the teams punter could most likely kick off.
And since this is NWP....
