Congrats to '15 commit P Tommy Townsend!

It's great to get our future punter in the Army AA Game. Many questioned that Butch used a scholly on kickers and long snappers, but changing field position can help win a lot of games. It is comforting to know that emphasis is finally being placed on special teams and the impact they can have on the season.

Isn't that one of Neyland's Maxims?

fantastic!

Goog special teams, kickers, punters help win games. Bad special teams, kickers, punter LOSE games. I would rather win than lose. Well use of scholarships.

Good googly moogly

And we have many posters on VN griping and whining that #1-3 will be on scholarship. #4 is as well of course. but they see him as a regular player. They have no concept of the importance of having the best you can get in the kicking game.

we lose to FL in 98...or was it 01...if we miss the fg

we beat bama with kiffin if we make either of the last two fg

St is huge.

kickers...sadly.....matter alot

Awesome for Townsend!

go ask Bobby Bowden if he wishes he had spent more scholarships on kickers...He probably lost at least 3 more chances at national titles because of bad kickers...
