It was off the side if the foot, a normal line drive punt would not have come close to being blocked.
That'd be Cameron Shook. Both he and Dunn were warming up pregame at UNLV. Dunn clearly had the bigger leg in warm-up, but we all know that's not everything
I vaguely remember hearing that one year back in the late 90s maybe we had an open tryout for ISU students to kick field goals or extra points. Was that true?
Yep that's him. I knew his last name started with an S but for the life of me couldn't remember his name. And like you said Dunn definitely has the stronger leg, but one would think hang time would have some merrit to it.
Harry Dunn and his friend Loyd Christmas should coach special teams.
I know in recent memory, SMU was the largest university to have just random college kids try out to kick. I think this was a few years ago. Just sent out a campus wide email to every student to show up at the practice field.
2004 I think. We had two kickers on scholarship and neither could hit an XP. I think Culbertson (“shaggy”) was a walk-on that year and eventually won the starting job.
I wonder how much stopping that fake punt against Texas last year has played into our game plan this year? I have said before its almost like we are playing for another fake punt whenever the punt return team is on the field. We are not rushing to block the kick, but we are not playing for a return either.
Time to fix both our punting problems and our returning of punts, could we also find a kicker that can kick the ball into the endzone every time.

According to FEI, we are 129th overall in special teams and field position (FBS/FBS games only).

Average of 48? That would put the average as 3rd or 4th best all time for a season average for any individual punter.
I'm throwing the BS flag on this one

The trajectories of Dunn and Shook
punting side by side is obvious. That said pregame and halftime warm ups obviously don’t tell the whole story.
But Dunn’s warm up punts don’t look different than his in game punts. Line drives every time. I have a hard time believing his punts during the week are different.
This is my concern. If I recall, his kickoffs regressed throughout that game against Baylor. Went from touchbacks to kicking at about the 5. Could have been wind/direction of kicking/my consumption of whiskey, but I remember thinking that during the game.

Don't need to be Top Ten in these categories but if 'details' is going to be mantra and the way you have to win at ISU, this obviously is a big fail.
Field position is an offensive problem too.

Lol, how fitting that Nebraska is 128. They lost the MSU game in a similar manner as we did against Baylor.
Good stuff in this thread. The Baylor punter had a huge net average, and it really affected the game.
