Glenn No. 1 Share Posted October 25, 2022 With all the excitement going on in Eugene, it's important that we don't overlook what is often critical on a championship team - a rock solid place kicker. It's been a while since we've seen 'perfect stats' (8/8 FG, 37/37 PAT) this late in the season, and there's a case to be made for Camden Lewis as one of the most improved players on the squad. Although it could be argued that we 'haven't needed him to win a game' so far this year, we likely will as we go down the stretch. We had the pleasure to visit with Cam during pre-game at the UCLA contest, and he was calm, engaging and generally a really nice young man. Someone we all can root for... Go Ducks! ..and Go Camden Lewis - thanks for all the hard off-season work... we're lucky to have you here! 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Great point, and so true. I am very happy for him and the team that he has turned into such a reliable resource. We will need him at crunch time in the future, and technically--he kicked the wining points versus Washington State this year too.

woundedknees No. 3 Share Posted October 25, 2022 He was the one responsible, more than anyone else on the field, for perfectly executing the on side kick and recovery that ultimately set the tone for the rest of the game. Well done, indeed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, indeed! I think that was Andrew Boyle. Probably the best executed onside kick I've ever seen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDuck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Yes, it was Andrew Boyle who executed the on-side kick...perfection on execution! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 6 Share Posted October 25, 2022 In the miraculous comeback at UCLA in the 1970s...Coach Ken Woody was the kicker and did the same thing. Kicked the onside perfect, and recovered it himself. That is one time I love history repeating! Ken Woody kicking the winning field goal against Washington, under the hold of John Harrington, Joey's father. How cool is that? 1 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandaian No. 7 Share Posted October 25, 2022 It is nice to know Cam can make the "gimme" FGs, but out of the 8 FGs this season, he only has 3 longer than 30 yards. For his career he is 8-11 from 30-39, and 7-11 from 40-39. I hope this is building up his confidence in himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about the onside kick but didn't know who the kicker was, certainly didn't know who recovered it. Good info, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw777b No. 9 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Update: Camden is now #2 in the FBS for PATs. I don't remember seeing one kick that wasn't very close to being right down the middle. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon does not, or I should say, has not had to rely on his foot to win games this year but the day is coming where it could make the difference against a really good team that holds Oregon to under 30 and scores against us like we score against them.
