This being Thanksgiving week, it would seem an appropriate time for college football teams to show their kickers some appreciation. After all, the guys who mostly stand alone on the sideline until they're called upon have never been better and perhaps they will play a role in settling a rivalry game this week. Bowl Subdivision kickers enter the final week of the regular season having made 77.2% of their field goals, according to Sportradar.
