Feature Player of the Week

The newest feature here on BvB is the Feature Player of the Week. This isn't a salute to the players that show up and play they asses off and win the game for their team. This is to feature those players that will lose the game for their team.

This week we're talking about a player that every Arkansas fan loves and every Alabama fan never wants to see out on the field.

Leigh Tiffin

Position: Kicker
From: Muscle Shoals, AL
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 170 lbs
Class: Sophomore

Stats: 12/21 FG attempted 3/7 from beyond 40. 12/13 on extra point attempts

Signature Performance: Alabama @ Arkansas 2006 , After going 7/9 in his first three home games, Tiffin on the road in Arkansas was 1/4 in a game that went to overtime, missing a 30 yarder with 3:06 left in the game, a 37 yarder in Overtime, and an extra point in Overtime to let Arkansas take the game from the Tide. This loss set Arkansas on an eight game winning streak and left the tide to lose 6 of their next 9 games getting Tide Coach Mike Shula fired.

This week the young man hopes to help his team on to victory, and at home he should have better luck doing it. If he even gets the chance to kick against the #16 Razorbacks look for him to spend as long as he can trying to psyche himself up. Look for tide coach Nick Saban to go for it on questionable 4th and 4 or to punt from the 20 on back.

Leigh Tiffin is my hero!
