Duck fans who've been around for a time know The Curse of the Maldonado, the long sordid history of wide rights and hooked lefts that have plagued Oregon's special teams.
In the last few weeks the Ducks have missed kicks from 44 and 36 yards, only to see the opponent nail kicks from 51 and 58.
It doesn't seem to matter who the Oregon kicker is. Ever since Aidan Schneider, who hit 85 percent of his kicks over four seasons out of Grant High School in Portland, the bigger the game the more likely the Webfoot kicker is likely to miss the uprights with a makeable kick.
