This could be a huge difference in the game tonight

Brock Landers · Jan 4, 2005

"Much has been made this week about Oklahoma relying on freshman Garrett Hartley, who has yet to attempt a field goal in a college game, for its place kicking tonight."

What happened with their regular field goal kicker?

Brock Landers · Jan 4, 2005

"After being one of the best place-kickers in the country last season, Trey DiCarlo ended up losing his job to freshman Garrett Hartley, who hasn't attempted a field goal in college"

Actually the differencee maker won't even be on the field tonight.

He'll be in the USC's coaching booth. Those who follow college football know I don't need to explain.

"Hartley became the Sooners' starting kicker two games ago against Baylor, replacing Trey DiCarlo, who has missed half of his 16 field goal attempts this season."

This figures to be a close game either way, and this kind of info has swung my vote.

For those of us who don't follow college football, who is this difference?

Thanks World Runner. For everyone else his name is Norm Chow and he's the best in the land.

When did you hear of an assistant college coach being considered for a pro gig?
(The SF Niners are taking a serious stab at him after the seasons over)

Not sure whether that will be the difference though I agree he is outstanding. One school of thought I want to throw out there. There is no one better at making halftime adjustments then USC amd Chow there is no doubt. Look at what they have done in the 2nd half of their games this year.....Oklahoma at pickem in the first half may not be a bad play here.
