BYU has seen wonders from Will Ferrin, but recently, he has struggled.
It’s that time of year again, BYU fans. The Holy War is in town, and BYU will be hosting the Utes in Lavell Edwards Stadium. The hero of last year was no other than Will Ferrin, hitting a game-winning field goal in Salt Lake City. BYU will need to lean on its star kicker again, with the offense struggling to score in the red zone. BYU has a strong special teams core this year, and Ferrin can put on a show for the Cougar fans.
Rivalry aside, Will Ferrin is a great kicker. He has hit a slump, but he’ll figure it out. BYU has found a legend in Ferrin, who sadly will be gone at the end of the season. He is a redshirt senior and has hit a lot of key field goals, most recently at Arizona, to force a second overtime. Ferrin is 12-15 this year on field goals, perfect on extra points, and has tied a school record for the longest field goal made: 56 yards against Portland State.
