Jake Money Moody B1G Kicker of the Year
November 29th, 2022 at 12:58 PM ^
Jake is the G.O.A.T.
November 29th, 2022 at 12:59 PM ^
I mean, he deserves it just for the Illinois game.
November 29th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
When I needed to be held, he held me.
November 29th, 2022 at 12:59 PM ^
As it should be.

Best kicker I've ever seen at Michigan. I'm no Craig Ross, but I'm also no spring chicken so I think this is fair.

I think you are right. Kenny Allen was really good, but had a much shorter time period as a starting kicker. Garrett Rivas and Remy Hamilton were great too. The thing that puts Moody over the top in my mind is the fact that Harbaugh has given him a few attempts at incredible distances that previous Michigan kickers never attempted.
Basically, some of these attempts are statistical outliers that don't really count, in my opinion, in an "apples to apples" comparison, especially when charting misses and %. Even with those factored in . . . he is still essentially the best "statistically" with very little room for debate.
At the national level, he is tops, and I would be really interested to see who is better between 30-55 yards. Take out the chip shots and take out the extreme distances and try and find a better kicker.

Nobody is better between 30 and 50.

Someone made a comment that Harbaugh lets Moody attempt these long attempts in game so the NFL scouts can gauge his leg strength. Put on film, as they say.
I think this is a smart take and believe Harbaugh puts the best interest of his players first. How many other coaches (*cough* ryanday *cough*) would have punted in place of that 57 yard attempt.

Yaaaaas! We're in the money for Moody.
November 29th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
also of note.
Happy for sparty to have the punter of the year.
A fine honor.
November 29th, 2022 at 1:10 PM ^
he is a very good punter AND he doesn't beat peoples brains in with his helmet (allegedly)
November 29th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
Was there ever any doubt? Congrats Mr. Moody!
November 29th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
Nothing to see here, move along... Only the most obvious recipient for the last two years.
CONGRATS, JAKE - AGAIN!!!
BTW - Groza x 2 = GOAT

Groza Reduex

Congrats, Money Moody!
November 29th, 2022 at 1:05 PM ^
Couldn't figure out my photo....so congrats Moody!
November 29th, 2022 at 1:05 PM ^
Excellent (and correct) choice!
November 29th, 2022 at 1:07 PM ^
Jake Money!
November 29th, 2022 at 1:16 PM ^
Like others have mentioned. He is the greatest kicker in UM history.
November 29th, 2022 at 1:35 PM ^
I was going to post a thread earlier but had to run to a meeting and I don't know if its worth a new one now, but he's one of the three finalists for the Groza again (unsurprisingly).
The other 2 finalists (Christopher Dunn - NC State, Joshua Karty - Stanford) have better % of makes, but Moody has the most field goals total AND the most makes above 30 yards. Only Sebastian Janikowski has won it twice. My completely uneducated guess is one of the other guys will get it but maybe not! Only Moody has been a pivotal piece of a great team, after all.
November 29th, 2022 at 1:44 PM ^
Totally deserved and hopefully he'll get the Garza in a couple weeks as well.
November 29th, 2022 at 1:47 PM ^
Moody makes another one...again.
November 29th, 2022 at 1:49 PM ^
Well ain't that a kick between the goal posts! Congrats, Jake. Your glower alone would have won the award.
November 29th, 2022 at 1:49 PM ^

I love me some Jake Moody but that Maryland kicker was pretty decent too.
November 29th, 2022 at 2:51 PM ^
Moody! Moody! Moody! Moody!
November 29th, 2022 at 9:19 PM ^
The only thing sweeter than Jake winning the Groza again would be for Jake to win the Groza *and* Brad Robbing to be named Holder of the Year!
Seriously, congrats to you, Jake on winning the B1G Awards. Go Blue!
