An Academy Award...

Post by SuperHornet »

...should go to the Wisconsin punter. His play-acting just stole a potential touchdown from Michigan State after an INCREDIBLE return of a botched line-drive punt.

Egad. And this is the best conference in college football? (Their commissioner would have us believe that trash.) This wouldn't have happened in the Jerry Markbreit era....

That's what punters are taught to do. If you want to whine about something do it about the Michigan St. coaches who were dumb enough to allow it to happen. Set up the punt return & take the ball, but don't ever touch the kicker!

Number 9 should have been nowhere near the punter. Yes, the punter hammed it up, but that is what he is supposed to do.

We're (punters) are all taught to act like we got shot when touched. He was smart by leaving his leg up longer on his follow through. Guy shouldn't have touched him plain and simple. I was fortunate in college and never had to "act". I got leveled twice so I earned those 30 yards :lol:
