I may have been a bit harsh. Maybe.

There have been a couple occassions where I have been critical of kicker Matt Nuzie. Granted, he did deserve it for all of the missed kicks he had over the past few weeks. But you know what? He deserves a lot of credit. Nevermind he is a kicker, and everyone knows kickers get the sideways glances and some even consider kickers less than full-fledged members of a team. But Nuzie, time after time after time, faces the music. He can run and hide. He can make excuses. He can give up. But he doesn't. This speaks volumes about the young man's character.

I don't think he should be starting for the Huskies any longer. I don't even know if he should be given the chance to reclaim his old job from Graig Vicidomino. But no matter what happens between now and the end of the season, Nuzie has handled adversity with class, something we can all learn from.
