From JSO:
(re: the wind) “It’s unpredictable,” Smack said. “It just swirls. One end zone is fine. The other [north] end zone, it swirls a little bit more, which, if I just hit my ball, it should cut right through.”
That’s where Smack preferred to take the conversation on his three missed kicks. If he just hits his ball, everything is fine.
More than wind, Smack said, his ball striking was the reason he left 7 points off the board in what ultimately became a 31-7 win for the Packers.
“I just think honestly I didn’t hit the ball well,” Smack said, “and that was basically it. You’re going to have some of those games. Like, I was going to miss those three kicks even if the wind wasn’t a factor. That’s just my ball striking wasn’t on point.
