The title of this thread should be MAACO Bowl: Punting into the Wind! That ball is a dead duck.

going off of lou holtz's comments, How many coaches here have practice both traditional punt and a rugby punt? If so, do you have different kickers?

I have never practiced the ruby punt... but in the future will give it a look, just so Lou won't call me a dumba$$!
However, when it comes to throwing in the wind... all you have to do is put a reverse spin on the ball and it cuts through like a hot knife through butter!

Mark Mann and Lou can't suffer laryngitis soon enough for the butchering they do of broadcasts.
However, Max Hall has 2 TDs passes now...big difference in the flight of the ball and the proper torque applied by Hall vs. Canfield

The title of this thread should be "Lou Holtz, Rambling about Nothing".
I wasn't aware that Notre Dame had the Rugby punt installed back in the 80's and early 90's.
And let's not get into the color guy, just like Mike Tiricco and a lot of other announcers, they sound like they are running for office.
Back to football. I was most impressed with how BYU's defense seemed to out play Oregon State's offense, especially in the hitting department. IMO, I think it caused the OSU receivers to be somewhat timid from the second quarter on. Also, Max Hall was rock solid and it seemed like the Y's backfield and oline carried them through the 3rd quarter to (minus one fumble) to seal the deal.

One more point. I thought Pitta, the tightend for the Y (no pun intended), looked exceptional both in the passing game with his routes and hands abilities as well as in the run game with his ability to block. Seems like a guy that might go in the draft.

19 for 30, 192 yds and 3 TDs.......
Canfield's throws seemed to unwind in the air and hang. Part of his problems (passing) were a result of receiver drops, as well.
Does the game illustrate;
1. Throwing in the wind (to go with the excuse of why you can't throw/spread in the 'weather')
2. The contrast in throwing mechanics between a great thrower like Hall and an athlete throwing the ball in Canfield.

If the wind is bad enough, there is nothing you can do. But, good mechanics always make things better. Played in a wind once that affected the shotgun snap. Went veer baby.

now some might think this philosophy is weird but I say punt the ball back to the other team. let them make the mistake and then we capitalize on it.
I have done this in down pour games when the field is all a muck. guarantee the other team is going to make a mistake.
