Bert Auburn Texas Longhorns Kicker

Bert Auburn, the senior kicker for the Texas Longhorns, has been facing significant challenges in the 2024 season. Unlike his previous year where he made 29 out of 35 kicks, Auburn has struggled this season, particularly with kicks from 40 yards or more, converting only 50% of these attempts.

Ahead of the highly anticipated Lone Star Showdown against Texas A&M, Auburn received some advice from a seasoned professional. Justin Tucker, the renowned kicker for the Baltimore Ravens, suggested that Auburn should simplify his approach and “just kick the damn ball.” This advice comes as Auburn prepares to face the Aggies in a rivalry game that has been intense over the past 100 years.

In the recent game against Texas A&M, Auburn’s performance was closely watched. During the Week 14 rivalry game, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian opted to take a delay of game penalty, which led to Auburn being called in for a 28-yard field goal attempt. This kick was successful, helping Texas to extend their lead to 17-0.

Despite the struggles, Auburn remains a key figure in the Texas Longhorns’ special teams unit. His performance in critical games like the Lone Star Showdown is crucial for the team’s success, and fans are hopeful that he will regain his form from previous seasons.
