kicking is 90% mental

A 55 yard fieldgoal, no matter the field conditions is doable for a professional kicker.
Not going for it was like telling Grupe " I don't believe in you son".
I think Grupe got in his own head after that.

Weather to kick the 55 yd FG is to that clear cut, First that field was crap , Deuce made several comments that the grass was very thin and players were slipping all day. It was very windy and I'm not sure if we had the wind at our backs in the 3rd qtr. Even a not-so-conservative HC with the way our D was paying would have probably punted to pin them close to the goaline and we all know DA is conservative
