Not if sure if you're serious, but you'd better appreciate this:
Gano's blocks: 30*, 49, 49**, 23, 36

Now his stats are more like:
Gano:
18-29: 14/14, 100%
30-39: 5/7, 71.4%
40-49: 8/9, 88.9%
50+: 4/6, 66.7%

Total: 31/36, 86.1%


*Reported yardage adjusted due to conflicting reports
**Coaches said the kick was too low

That's what Gano's percentages look like if you completely remove the blocked kicks from his attempts. Personally, I'm not really in favor of this because sometimes the kicks don't get up quick enough and it's not always the line's fault.
