Tulsa’s early-2000s place-kicking depth piece with a perfect PAT touch
In the 2002 season, Ricky Tallant showed a small but clean sample for Tulsa: he went 4-for-4 on extra points and 1-for-3 on field goals, good for 7 total points[1]. The clearest differentiator is reliability on routine kicks, but the small field-goal sample suggests he was more a steadiness option than a high-volume weapon[1]. Tulsa’s historical stats also list him among the program’s kicking contributors, which fits the profile of a low-drama specialist teams can trust when the snap, hold, and kick all have to line up just right[1].
