It really isn't that hard to snap a ball. I don't see what the big problem is. You have a space that's about 5 feet by 8 feet to get a decent snap back there- it shouldn't be that hard.

I think it's because the 3rd stringer (Reden, wasn't it) has a lot of other things going on: line calls, etc. As pointed out above, Sorensen will be in the 2-deep at Center (I think Aulai will be the starter, with Sorensen playing a lot at guard and at center with the 2's).

How about the 2 missed field goals from 47 and 50 yards (out of 3 attempts).

That worries me as a missed field goal can be the difference between a W or an L, a conference championship or 2nd,3rd place. And with new leadership at QB we will want all the points we can get.

Does this worry anybody else?

I hope that was TIC!

Not that I know much about anything, but imagine that as soon as you move the ball, as a center, an opposing 270-lb man then has permission to hit you. Now try to hike that ball about 8 feet in the air while moving your 300+ lb body forward, all in one motion, to hit that 270 lb man before he puts you (and consequently the Q on your keisters. Not an easy feat.

In fact, long snappers in the NFL make a LOT of money to do only that. They are something of a rare commodity, a specialized field. Just ask the Denney brothers.
