I completely disagree. At those specific distances, it doesn't change anything. They still kick it WAY over the bar. If we we're talking about a 55 yard FG, then yes, they kick it lower to get the extra distance....but PATs and 35 yard FG's are both kicked high because the distance is well within the range of most (if not all) D1 place kickers. He may have kicked it low, but not becasue he needed to.
