[Husker] Jordon Congdon

[Kurt Holst]

I was at the Texas game sitting 8 rows up behind the goalposts on the 
south end of the stadium and watched Congdon, in warm-ups, attempt field 
goals (with the wind) and he couldn't hit them from 40 yds with no 
pressure.  I don't know what happened but his kicking leg seemed less 
powerful this year.
