I think part of it is simply bad luck, since it varies a lot by year. As for the kickers, the starting punter and place kicker is the same guy - Alex Pechin, who made 1st team All-PL as a frosh. He got hurt during warmups prior to Cornell. I'm assuming some sort of pulled muscle or groin injury, but I have no idea. The freshman on the roster, who was All-Pennsylvania last year, got hurt sometime prior to the opener and hasn't suited up yet.
The current junior class had a very good kicker in it - Connor Feehan from Virginia - who reportedly had won the starting job in preseason camp as a frosh. But unfortunately he developed a serious foot problem, tried to kick through it, had his season shut down, and need serious surgery with a long recovery period. He transferred out at the end of the year and I have no idea if he has played football again.
