I noticed.
November 16th, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^
Based the roar that followed after he hit that 49 yarder, I'm pretty sure a few people noticed...
November 16th, 2019 at 6:51 PM ^
shhhhh don't jinx him!
November 16th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
Fuck the jinx! That 49 yarder in 3rd quarter was money. He put a little draw on it just like I hit my drives - except he kept it out of the woods.
Great game for Nordin!
November 16th, 2019 at 6:54 PM ^
ZOMG, he's a kicker, don't talk about it!
November 16th, 2019 at 6:59 PM ^
Our special teams also featured Kahleke's blocked punt, which resulted in yet another short field for our lately-dynamic offense to work on.
But I must say, something that's long taken me aback, somewhat, about the rules: if a punter gets away the ball cleanly and you try your damnedest to avoid him, but give him a little girl's love-tap while flying by (while out of your own control), you're flagged for 5 or 15 yards.
If on the other hand you get a finger on the ball, or enough fingers to clearly/indisputably alter its flight pattern off the punter's foot, then slam into him breaking his arm and/or leg, fine and dandy!!!

It's kinda like hockey. It's only a five minute major if you draw blood. Otherwise just a 2 minute high sticking penalty
November 16th, 2019 at 8:34 PM ^
That's not really an apt analogy haha
November 16th, 2019 at 10:31 PM ^
Let him go. He's on a roll.
November 17th, 2019 at 1:24 AM ^
That was an awesome sequence! Blocked punt, Hudson running to coach Partridge and hugging him, crowd going crazy, and first offensive play hitting Nico on that pass play for a TD. It was glorious
November 17th, 2019 at 9:50 AM ^
Don't know if this has been talked about already, or if it showed up on TV. After Khaleke blocked the punt and after the ball was recovered, he sprinted straight to Partridge and jumped on him and they were celebrating big time. Absolutely loved it. What I surmise is that Partridge and Khaleke have been talking about how close K's been getting to a block. They watched film and saw that there was an opportunity against Sparty. Khaleke took advantage of what they saw together and made a huge play, and then those dude's celebrated like little kids over their success. Really thought that was awesome.

Goddamnit you're going to scare it away.
November 16th, 2019 at 7:08 PM ^
It’s almost like when they made Rick Vaughn wear glasses.
November 16th, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
Almost missed a few PATs. It still feels like every kick is an adventure. Hope it was a good confidence builder for him, though.
November 16th, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
Case in point: Minnesota's freshman kicker just missed an XP which may cost them the game
November 16th, 2019 at 7:10 PM ^
I feel Quinn and Harbaugh have had serious conversation.
November 16th, 2019 at 7:11 PM ^
I'm glad he is kicking well but Moody earned his spot and is money within 40 yards.
I wish Nordin the best but I hope this doesn't overshadow the job Moody has done. I still trust Moody far more for shorter FG's but glad they are giving Nordin a chance to redeem himself.
November 16th, 2019 at 7:14 PM ^
Is Moody hurt or in the doghouse? He was the starter before...
November 16th, 2019 at 7:19 PM ^
Yeah, obviously I missed the news, but what happened to Moody?
November 16th, 2019 at 7:51 PM ^
He’s been missing kicks when it counts. Maybe Nordin won the job in practice.
November 16th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
Pretty sure everyone noticed
November 16th, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
The announcers noticed. They spent about a minute talking about him
November 16th, 2019 at 11:36 PM ^
Yeah let’s just ignore the 2 or 3 PATs that would have missed from 30
November 17th, 2019 at 1:11 AM ^
I'll say he's functional -- a 49 yarder. Woot!
November 17th, 2019 at 2:41 AM ^
Special teams were terrific today. We kicked their ass in all phases of the game!
November 17th, 2019 at 10:11 AM ^
I can't help buy hold my breath when he lines up for the kick. Never in doubt about the distance......it's that direction thing.
November 17th, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
If this proves to be true for the duration of the season, it is a very big deal.
November 17th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
Great to see him get is mojo back. He hung in there and came through.
