Amnorix, I think your assumption that because he was a 75% kicker he must be in a dome is missing the point. I think the proposition is that under all circumstances he faced in college he made 75% of many 65yd kicks. I think, based on the fact that you have to have a certain accuracy to make kicks from that far with that consistency, that you have to assume he could make 90-95% of kicks under 50.

Does that change your opinion at all?

As for the field position conundrum, I thought about it, and yes there are some times when it'd be better to punt, but just to have the FG option is huge at the end of a half or a close game. You wouldn't always want to kick the 65 yarder, but to be able to make the 55 yarder(from the 38 I believe) with 85-90% accuracy would be huge.
