Texas fans are quite familiar with the feeling of a kicker costing the Longhorns the chance to add to the win column.
The most memorable of many instances came in 2015 when Jerrod Heard’s late game heroics were made irrelevant just moments later as Nick Rose’s extra point attempt sailed right in a 45-44 loss, but there has been several more kicking woes since.
The following season, in what proved to be Strong’s last, the kicking game could be directly credited for three of Texas’ seven losses. A Trent Domingue missed field goal from 35 yards in the fourth quarter became the difference in a 24-21 loss to Kansas State, and just weeks later, Domingue had a 37-yard field goal attempt blocked in the fourth quarter against West Virginia, which forced Texas to go for it with five seconds left from the Mountaineers 27-yard line in a 24-20 loss.
