    Not averaging 50+. We've only had one punter average 50 yards a kick for a season. It's hard to do when you have to pooch punt and kick to the sidelines. I mean a punter capable of hitting 50+ consistently when we need it. We have had such punters.

    Chad Kessler averaged 50 yards over a season at LSU. Donnie Jones did it in the NFL and had an 86-yard punt at LSU.

    I can dream.

    Screw punting! Maybe the offense will step up this season so we don't HAVE to punt as much. I mean, it's a sad state of affairs when, in a thread about who will step up this season, we're hoping it's the punter. :rofl:

    Patrick Fisher had a huge leg. I remember one time he carried it 50+ yds not even getting off a full kick because he got hit (not technically a 50yd punt, but still) . Brad Wing can boot the ball. He's the kind of punter you're talking about.

    Rueben Randle is going to turn it on as well, with his size I see him becoming really physical and dominating a lot of defenses.

    Damn, there's so much depth on this team. I cannot wait to see these guys play.

    I think Coach Kragthorpe helps Jefferson improve quite a bit, I think this is his main reason for him staying on the staff.

    Rueben Randle HAS to be the guy this year.

    I hope we get to see Russell Shepard become the player we all hoped and dreamed he would be.
