Dude has an absolute cannon of a right leg but he really really needs to work on his touch. Tory Taylor is so great because he can pin teams within their own ten yard line consistently. Perkins is an NFL punter if he can do that.
I'm guessing he'll be working on that this year and next.

Or yes, we could just go for it inside the 50. But that would require risk. Coach Campbell Risk :confused:

Okay, so I looked it up. Turns out that Tyler Perkins is actually…SECOND in FBS in punting. Gasp! Moan! Despair!

Okay, so he has almost twice as many attempts as the first place guy, but…the horror! Fire CMC and that Langes guy!!!

Aren't you a Debbie Downer!! :D

Nice to have a weapon at Punter, and a decent FG kicker this year!

I’m happy he has gotten better at getting them off quicker. If he improves next year and adds some accuracy, he has a shot at the league.

Not exactly sure.
Yeah well... I'll own it. Sorry.

And BTW, when did you get so superstitious? I'll bet you are like CMC and prolly never want to wear c/c/w unis again? AmIright?

:D
I like those unis but I am superstitious with sports for some reason.

Well you called this one.

Instead of going for it on 4th and 2 from the Ohio 46 yd line, we took a timeout instead of accepting a delay of game penalty. This resulted in our shortest punt of the day, a 31 yd punt that was downed at the Ohio 15.

All of his other punts were about 50 yards and pinned Ohio inside the 20, regardless of punting from our own 27 to Ohio's 42.

Basically, Perkins is going to pin the opponent inside their own 20 regardless of our field position, so there is never a reason to burn a timeout in that situation.

Perkins = bright spot for ISU

Now, wouldn't it be nice not to have to use him so often?

With as much as this team punts, he might be in the running for punter of the week all season long

Kind of shocked BYU's punter has two more punts.

I figured he'd be #1 in total yards by a safe distance but he's #2 in total and average.
