Guys, Ficken is a class act. He endured a lot of "stuff" as a freshman kicker and missing key field goals to becoming one of the more reliable kickers PSU has had in his junior and senior years.

His overall stats were terrible, but the last two years he only missed one from each range.
His downfall and probably why he won't make it in the NFL is his lack of strength. But he has nerves of steel and will not give up or settle for second place.

Ficken was the most reliable part of the Penn State offense his junior and senior years. That's really the best and most succinct praise for him.
