For Penn State kicker Tyler Davis, loss of snapper, holder, equals new challenge

There is not much taken for granted in sports these days, not with the proliferation of social media GIFs and multiple near 24-hour television networks dedicated to showing just about everything about anything from football to baseball to hockey, basketball, and pretty much anything in between.

Across the board, follies are chronicles, and discussed at such lengths that it's known what should happen almost 100 percent of the time and what might not.

The job of long snapper and holder on a football team probably still make the cut, though.

And why wouldn't they? Both positions are mentioned in passing, usually only to be blamed when something goes wrong like a snap skipping away or a holder not properly placing the laces of the football for his kicker.
