As Chip Alexander explains in this piece, Christopher Dunn sought out ECU placekicker Owen Daffer after the game Saturday to provide what emotional support he could in that difficult moment.
“I just said, ‘Hey, look man, you’ve got a whole year, 11 games left in your season, so don’t let this kick define you,’” Dunn said Tuesday.
If anybody knows what a kicker goes through after a tough miss, it’s another kicker. Dunn was in the same spot at the end of regulation against Clemson last season, though fortunately his miss only meant overtime, not a loss—and the Pack, of course, ultimately prevailed.
