As if our offense wasn’t already bordering on unfair. Can’t wait for some epic, morale-killing fake punt scenarios.

I would say it would be funny to give Beamer with SC a dose of his own „Beamer Ball“ medicine. But I really am hoping there is no need to punt in that game.

As is the case by design. Heupel wants to give opposing teams even more stuff to prepare for.
Of course, even if we succeed in pulling a few of these off; it will be spun as just another „gimmick“.

Football was more about the foot back then.

When either team only got one or two good opportunities to score in a game, because defense ruled, having a great kicker was key.

Still important today, absolutely. But not a significant percentage of the pre-season conversation.

Go Vols!

From the other direction, I wonder if we will ever see a modern coach do a surprise quick punt on third down. Current DCs probably have never even told their kids that that is possible. Talk about flipping the field 😂

This is great for sure, but is he a solid punter (assuming we have to punt occasionally)?
While on this topic, I’ve heard nothing about our kicking game for this year.

You don’t get to the level of Pro Aussie football that he did without being able to kick the snot out of the pigskin…there should be some epic special teams play! GBO!

Exactly. We should’ve just kept that to ourselves and surprised the heck out of FLA or other SEC foe when we really needed it. It’s like the military announcing the date and time of a withdrawal or beginning of hostile action. People just need to learn to keep things under wraps and not tell everything they know.

I have to say, the thought of scoring one against the gamecucks on a TD pass from our punter on 4th down certainly brings a smile to one’s face. But I’d settle for a satisfying fake-punt conversion for 1st down.
