Probably the "kicker" was also playing regularly, since I doubt kicking specialists were a thing back then. I'm amazed his leg didn't cramp, honestly.

LOL, I just re--read these posts. Imagine being that kicker who, I would venture to say, is usually not the most athletic guy on the team.

Kicker: "WTF, again?" Or, given the times, "My goodness, again? Coach, my leg is killing me. Mind if I sit this one out?"

Heisman: "Yeah, I do mind. Get your sorry a$$ . . ." er, "Kindly get yourself out there and kick the ball. And don't miss. I want every point!"
