WATCH: Career-long 57-yard FG wins game for A&M K commit Davis

Ask Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher about the keys to victory, and he’ll speak about three — and not two — facets of the game. Fisher will mention his team winning the day on offense, defense and special teams.

Following Thursday’s win against Northwestern State, Fisher, during his opening remarks of his postgame interview, spoke positively about all three facets of the game. And when it came to the Aggies’ kicking game, he commented about “a great 52-yard field goal” by Daniel LaCamera. As the head coach, Fisher refused to let special teams be an afterthought.

On Friday, Caden Davis gave Fisher something else to smile about regarding Texas A&M special teams. Davis, the 3-star kicker from Coppell (Texas) High School, set the bar high for Texas high school kickers by draining a 57-yard field goal with no time on the clock to give Coppell a 30-28 win at home against Sachse (Texas) High School.


The kick, in addition to winning the game, was a career long for Davis, a Texas A&M commit since Nov. 13, 2017.

“This is what every kicker dreams of,” Davis said. “All that I could think of was this being a chance for redemption for last season.”

Davis, a 6-foot-2, 186-pound kicker, can now say he’s exorcised the demon of the agony he felt last year. As a junior, Davis only missed two extra-point attempts all season. One of those came during a Class 6A regional semifinal, as Coppell fell to Round Rock (Texas) Cedar Ridge High School, 35-34, in overtime. Davis missed the extra point that would have tied the game and sent it into a second overtime.

Friday’s booming kick was the perfect way for Davis to remind everyone — and Texas A&M fans — that he can be a major asset.

“The feeling of making a 57-yarder to win the game is unimaginable,” Davis said. “It feels like you’re on top of the world.”

Along with the game-winning field goal, Davis also made field goals from 42 and 29 yards out, respectively. Coppell only scored nine points in the second half; Davis was responsible for all of them.

Last season, Davis was the Special Teams MVP of his district, connecting on 15 of 21 field goals and 63 of 65 extra points. His career long entering Friday was 51 yards.

In 2016, he made 15 of 20 fields and all 51 of his extra-point attempts. Davis was named a second-team MaxPreps Sophomore All-American that year, as well as an all-state honorable mention.

Davis is ranked the nation’s No. 4 kicker in the 2019 class, according to 247Sports. Recruited by defensive ends coach Terry Price, Davis has remained with his Texas A&M for nearly a year despite getting offers from TCU and Cornell, as well as major interest from Arkansas.

Far-right protesters march in Germany after man killed ‘by migrants’

Image
Right-wing protesters and opponents of  Angela Merkel ‘s liberal immigration policy have staged a fresh rally in Germany today six days after a German man was allegedly stabbed to death by two migrants. Thousands of marchers waving German flags took to the streets on Saturday while leftists started a rival protest and more than 1,200 police officers kept watch in the city of Chemnitz.  This evening police said they had asked the organisers to end the march for the day, prompting calls of ‘resistance’ and booing and whistling from the crowd.  Tensions over Merkel’s 2015 decision to open Germany’s doors to a million asylum seekers have flared up this week since 35-year-old Daniel Hillig was killed last Sunday.  Today’s march led by members of the anti-immigration AfD party, which is represented in Germany’s parliament, follows violence earlier this week involving neo-Nazi marchers making Hitler salutes.  Right-wing groups including the AfD and the street mo...

John McAfee’s ‘unhackable’ Bitfi wallet got hacked — again

Image
If the security community could tell you just one thing, it’s that “nothing is unhackable.” Except John McAfee’s cryptocurrency wallet, which was only unhackable until it wasn’t — twice. Security researchers have now developed a second attack, which they say can obtain all the stored funds from an unmodified Bitfi wallet. The Android-powered $120 wallet relies on a user-generated secret phrase and a “salt” value — like a phone number — to cryptographically scramble the secret phrase. The idea is that the two unique values ensure that your funds remain secure. But the researchers say that the secret phrase and salt can be extracted, allowing private keys to be generated and the funds stolen. Using this “cold boot attack,” it’s possible to steal funds even when a Bitfi wallet is switched off. There’s a video below. on a completely unrelated note, here is a @Bitfi6 being cold boot attacked. it turns out that rooting the device does not wipe RAM clean. who would have thought it!?...

Coca-Cola to buy UK coffee chain Costa for $5.1 billion

Image
Coca-Cola has agreed to buy coffee chain Costa for $5.1 billion including debt to extend its push into healthier drinks and take on the likes of Starbucks and Nestle in the booming global coffee market. The purchase from Britain’s Whitbread of Costa’s almost 4,000 outlets thrusts the world’s biggest soda company into one of the few bright spots in the sluggish packaged food and drinks sector. Paying about 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) more than some analysts had expected, Coke will use its distribution network to supercharge Costa’s expansion as it chases current coffee chain market leader Starbucks and its almost 29,000 stores across 77 markets. Beyond coffee shops, Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey, himself a Briton who is familiar with the Costa brand, said Costa would provide an important growth platform ranging from beans to bottled drinks in what is one of the world’s fastest-growing drink categories, growing 6 percent. “Coca-Cola doesn’t have a broad, global portfolio in thi...
