From playing Aussie Rules - when the wind is swirling that is in your head on a kick. You feel you have to put a little more in to it and your mechanics get a little loose. If that were the 45 yard kick it should have been I think Griffith puts it through easy...
I don't think this is a "It's in his head" ala Leigh Tiffin vs. Arkansas or other games which will not be mentioned.
