NEW PUNTER COMMITS!
- Thread starter Senior Sooner
- Start date
Stoops, like Switzer and Wilkinson, prioritizes a strong kicking game.
IMO, that has been a big part of OU's success over the years.

If we had a decent offensive coordinator, we wouldn't need a damned punter!
Yep...I thought Veritas had his tongue firmly in his cheek...
Not to hijack the thread, but who was the last player-punter we had on the team? Joe Wylie? Anyone handle their regular position and punting since that time?
Darrell Ray, Joe Washington, Joe Don Looney come to mind.
BTW, I was not overlooking any sarcasm.
Yeah, forgot about Darroll Ray playing DB and P back in the late 70s. He went on to have several good seasons with the Jets. He was probably the last player who punted and started at another position.
Another player was WR Tinker Owens......and there were many players during Wilkinson's time.
I remember Lance Rentzel punting from his own end zone in the 1964 Texas game (during Gomer Jones' first year as HC). When he saw all the Texas players running away from him to provide blocks for the punt returner, Rentzel ran to midfield and an OU first down. OU lost 28-7, but that game had a great play by Rentzel and a big time hit by Carl McAdams, stopping Texas short of a first down.

Yes, because Football is like Basketball w/ easy lay ups everytime an offense gets the ball. Tongue firmly planted in cheek.
