Frank Beamer Nic Quotations

This is the best group of kickers that we've ever had. It's our kickoff guys, (Jared) Develli and (Jud) Dunlevy, they're kicking it in the end zone. Brandon Pace has been solid as a rock, and Nic Schmitt is booming them.

He's been good, ... He's got everything it takes. He's tougher than heck and he's nasty on the football field. He's a nice person off the field, but to be a great player, you've got to have that nasty attitude and he's got it.

I've really been pleased with Nic Schmitt. He's kicking in a good rhythm, kicking the ball quickly. He's getting great distance and hang time.

You kind of find out a lot about people when your backs are against the wall and people aren't saying nice things about you, people trash you a bit on TV, ... To come back and perform like we did against a great football team is a great win for the program. Exactly how big depends on what we do next week and the week after that.
