Hasn't missed. Wake special teams is the best in the country per football outsiders' efficiency ratings. He's the sixth best kicker so far this year.
 
Think how many points our kicker would have if our offense could get across the 50.
 
I guess Adam Centers is redshirting this year? He was a highly touted kicker out of high school with most sources having him as a top 3 kicker nationally. Has anyone heard anything on him?
