  • Punting

    Did Montana put on the best performance you have ever seen?

    Field position was suffocating last night....

    Our punting has not helped our case all year IMO.

      we lose the punting battle every game. Hopefully that Bieghler kid is good.

        better punting and maybe we only lose by 30 or something.
        not much difference.

          U guys are missing the point. I'm not talking about our avg punter but the Mont punter IMO probably will never punt like that again in his life.

            Best punting performance I ever have seen vs. UNI was Mike Scifres with Western Illinois now with the San Diego Chargers. So to answer the question. No.

              I thought they had great punting. It put us at a huge disadvantage for several series as we decided to try to run the ball to try to get some room and it almost resulted in 2 pts for MT as Rennie narrowly escaped a safety.

              Was it the difference maker in the game, no, but I was impressed.

                  I was in the end zone with a sideline pass and it happened right in front of me. By the time he got to the west side of the end zone he was only a foot or two off the back line. I thought it was a safety for sure and couldn't believe he got out of it.

                    Re: Punting

                    Looked on TV like he hit the end zone back line with his foot. I was okay if we got a safety in that situation as I thought if we were punting out of the back of the end zone Montana would get the ball at our 35 or so and score within a few plays from there. Whereas with a free kick from the 20 we had a better chance of at least making Montana start on their side of the field for once and could maybe hold them. 2 points is better than 7. That's how bad the game was for us.

                      I don't think I phrased my post very well. When the play started I thought it eventually would be a safety. But the whole play happened right in front of me and he neither stepped on the line nor ever came closer than about a foot and a half to the line. I didn't mean to suggest it actually was a safety and hope no one took it that way.

                        On the TV replay, Rennie's left foot was all but on the end line. It was a close to being a safety as it can get.

                          don't know if I captured the closest frame, but it's definitely closer than a foot-and-a-half

                            Yes, much closer than I thought. My bad.
