82nd in the country in punting average at 42.3 yards per kick, only 0.3 yards ahead of Jacob Eason.

Why does everyone talk about how awesome he is?

Because our drives stall out midfied and he has to pooch it. he is fine.
I like what he has done at Tech, but I don't think he will play in the NFL. He is not athletic enough to be the 11th defender on punt coverage

You might want to do some reading about what makes a great punter. Start with kicks inside the 20.

Oh, and he was responsible for more points than our offense last week. Maybe that will give you a hint?

Surprise surprise. Yukon has a negative opinion about something.

How many times has Harvin pinned opponents deep compared to other punters? The safety against Temple was directly attributable to him.

I would still take him over anybody else in the country.
Well what metric should punters be judged by, if not average punt length? Is there a better metric, like QB rating for punters?

Show me any stat besides weight or body fat that has Harvin highly ranked.

Most decent punters have long punts of 60-70 yards this year. Harvin's long is 55.

Whatever Collins and staff have done, they have wrecked a pretty average special teams even worse. Kicking finally was good last year. Kick returns too. Now? Nothing is any good.
KO Returns good last year? Yeah, if you're the USF KO Returner, you ööööing LOVED PJ's special teams last year.
