For those of you - some calling him "GARBAGE" (I'll leave names out....) - thinking Jai should be replaced, et al:

Following a frosh season in which he finished 18th nationally, IIRC, connecting on 83% of his kicks (15/18) including 2 from 50+, Jai had some struggles earlier this year starting the season just 2-for-6:

- missed 39 yard FG vs VT (BAD
- missed 56 yard FG vs VT (NEVER should've been sent out there after TO's and with that cross-wind)
(then kicked GAME WINNING FG)
- missed 52-yard FG bounced off midway up the left upright)
- blocked 37-yard FG vs Wscy (NOT his fault)

....but the R-Soph has bounced back to connect on his last 6 in a row (2/2 vs UCLA and SC; 1/1 vs Minny and Twerps) and is now 8-12 on the season. Let's hope for 3 more solid games from Jai and a GREAT finish to '24 for 2 really BIG seasons from him yet to come!!
