Well looks like we are taking boom or bust approach at punter… and I have to say I dig it.

With the defense we have? We only need a 30+ yard punt anyways but if we can get a 70 yard bomb? Let’s go baby

What is the over/under on number of games where he doesn't get any PT?
It'd be fun to go a bunch of games where the Buckeyes never punt.

Had to look deeep to find McLarty. Anyone know what's what? Got the pub about him punting the ball 90+ yards out of the yard. Fascinating, yet he hasn't seen the field this year. Does he scatter the ball alot? Slicing the ball out of bounds for a 15 yard punt certainly won't help him see the field, but the Buckeyes have had a couple of punts from the end zone, where I'd (we all would, I'm certain) like to see him pin the opponent back inside their own 20 yard line, instead of giving them field position on our 40. Anyway, didn't know if injured, or simply too inconsistent. The other Aussie seems to be punting at a 43+ yards a clip, so that's decent. Liken this to golf, drives the ball 300, but always plays shot #2 from the trees....

Yeah I guess he can also fantastically not get the ball into play as well. Sort of like the punting Joe Bauserman if you will.

I mean I’m here for it when we are up big… maybe the fans would stick around if they know there’s a shot for a football to reach their seats in C deck?

Tom Skladany could have done it, but his punts always went where he sent them. He is the only punter that I ever saw get an audible "oooooo" out of the crowd for how high his punts went... yes... way over C-Deck. Would love to see McLarty do that in the future. Preferably without supplying the crowd with souvenirs.
