No and he has a drinking problem......

So enjoy our leftovers the South is used to taking the scraps from the North.

Jesus, you may need a brief vacation phila.

He is a better punter.... the last 2 years you guys use that a lot right?

No, just needs to remember to take his meds regularly.

A couple of stints in doghouse for getting picked up for underage drinking .... sat out several games last year as he could not stop his habits and was in trouble with JoePa. Wild partier, even though he supposedly likes the girly drinks more than the hard stuff! VERY strong K leg, but not very accurate. Above avg punter if he has time to get it off. Pretty sad to see him drinking and partying his chance away. COuld have an NFL type leg if he worked hard, instead he is choosing to drink hard and be lazy. O'Brien has been riding him hard about his attitude and his drinking this spring and summer, and Fera is choosing to bolt due to it. He was a scUM commit, de-committed from them to come to us and I was thrilled at the time. Now I am not too disappointed to see him go. Ficken and Butterworth will be fine and we won't have to worry about Fera's next drunken issue to hit the papers.

Texas has a decent kicker already who also handles punting. They also signed another kicker to scholarship coming in with the 2012 class. I guess you can't have too many kickers!

Sounds like a good time.

This one Aug of 2011....

A Penn State spokesman said Tuesday that projected starting punter Anthony Fera, a returning starter, was not practicing with the team due to an undisclosed issue but was expected to return soon.

According to a report in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the 20-year-old Fera pleaded guilty to charges of purchasing alcohol by a minor and disorderly conduct on Aug. 4 in State College. The incident occurred June 7. Citing court documents, the Post-Gazette reported that Fera has been involved in two alcohol-related issues since last April. 

Fera wasn't practicing and according to a published report, the 20-year-old is dealing with a pair of alcohol-related issues that have occured within the last few months.

"He broke a couple rules so we're just going to play that one by ear,'' Paterno said of Fera.

"When he's gonna play? I honest-to-goodness couldn't tell you. We'll watch how he does things, makes sure he's behaving and the whole bit and I'll make my mind up.''

With all that said he is a good kicker though.

No last second game winners, but he did nail two 40+ yard field goals against Ohio State last year, including one kick just before half time. That is a high pressure situation if you ask me.

And he bombed a 70 yard punt against Purdue when we were pinned deep in our own end late in the 4th quarter. That punt flipped field position and sealed the win.

I appreciate the explanations, but I was being sarcastic.

He is a better punter than kicker. However, he has a strong leg and if he becomes more consistant, he should be an all league, if not all american canidate.

He has had some alcohol related issues at PSU, but it happens a lot at PSU. I am not making excuses for the kid, but my roommate at PSU had four alcohol related citations when he was at PSU. He graduated #1 in the College of Liberal Arts and now is a very successful attorney. Guess what, he does not have an alcohol problem, nor did he have one at PSU. He just made a few stupid mistakes.

If Ferra was coming back to PSU, everyone here would love the kid and consider him an asset. Now that it looks like he is leaving, he is a drunk and a so so kicker.
