To UCLA starting kicker and freshman J.J. Molson, no miss is acceptable

J .J. Molson has had his moments, but few qualify as freshman moments.

The UCLA kicker has made seven of 10 field goals and routinely launched kickoffs through the end zone in his first college season. It sounds like a great start until Molson begins talking about his “unacceptable misses.”

Which ones were those?

“The ones that I’ve had,” Molson said. “All three.”

Molson said the 48-yard field goal he shanked against Texas A&M was a matter of improperly angling his steps leading into the kick. The same issue, Molson said, caused him to miss a 38-yard attempt against Brigham Young.
