-- We have mentioned that UNT will miss punter Eric Keena. I'm starting to wonder if UNT won't miss him when it comes to kickoffs as well.

Oh no.

Scrimmage open to the public?

Yep

I've been wondering when they were going to move to rugby punting. Very smart move. I watched the punters during last Saturday's scrimmage. Each punter punted 10-15 times in a row, maybe more. Every punt was 30-35 yds after deducting the LOS yardage away. They will be great punters if we're punting from our 40. Outside of that, they gotta get rugby style down before the 2nd.

What is generally considered a good punt distance for a college punter (assuming they are punting deep)?

High 40's.

Yeah 30ish yards is very high schoolish.

[DeepGreen]

I seem to remember Toby Gowin and John Baker consistently booming them on average 42+ yards.

Averaged 38 per punt in high school.

You'd think out of 32k undergrads we'd be able to find someone who could walk-on and boot a ball a respectable distance.
