Another competitive game. Probably doesn't take much to go from hanging close in games to consistently winning them. Just need to take that next step. Maybe 2022...
 
I don't understand all the Australian punters. Can Americans really not compete with them? I don't get it.

That's what half the Team did when I was at GT, my only theory is that it is likely worse with this younger generation.

Don't have to be Sherlock to make that connection.

I can answer this. Australia football League (AFL) rewards all catches off punts greater than 10m with a free kick. So to advance the ball its in your best interest to kick it as far as you can and let your tall players go catch it. So instead of passes, all little kids grow up learning to punt long and accurate. Also, the highest paid players in AFL make less than 2m a year and their careers are pretty short. An NFL punter is much more lucrative.

Is it even conceivable to you that they are being taught poor technique in practice? That is much more believable to me than the belief they all are just partying all week.

Coaches in HS don't teach poor Techniques, but you think that at the College Level, our Coaches are teaching poor Techniques?
