come on folks, this is Iowa for gosh sakes....

Boston Everit from Gold Coast, Australia looks to have the won the starting job

Dakin was very hot/cold after replacing the legend Tory Taylor

Yeah Kirk mentioned it's about consistency, I don't think he will be Taylor by any means, but it will be ok. Much more worried about Buhr than the punters.

Was it the 2020 game against Wisconsin where Tory whiffed on the punt and then he kicked it off the ground like 50 yards, but then got a penalty for an illegal kick? Good times!

More concerned about the PK. Not downplaying the importance of punting but close games are a hallmark under Ferentz. We all remember the game changing and game winning FGs against ranked teams and rivals. Hope we have a clutch kicker because will likely need one this season.

Yep, any coach will take a 40+ yard avg and really good hang time. Kick from your own 30 and it goes 42 yards with a fair catch then your opponent is on their 28.

The pros like the hang time because there are just some many good returners there that a big return is always possible

Correct, a 40 yard avg punter with mostly fair catches is find, missing a lot of FGs is not fine
