I know the camera was panning, but that pass looked like it had some english on it.

Think about this technology in the hands of terrorist, makes you hope Minny doesn't put this on a boat and rows it down river.

I bet Matty Campbell knows the process for how to set it up.

Maybe we can start seeing the effect of the QBs having a coach of their own. Hopefully, no senior let down season like we have seen in the past.

Boy, it's been a loooooong off-season or my memory is getting bad in my old age. I could've sworn Stanley was taller than that...and white.

no wonder the OL had trouble protecting Stanley, last season. He's a complete statue in the pocket.

Hand timed or electric? Big difference and I need to know if scouting
Just eyeballing it. I'm pretty sure it's under 3 seconds.

Gotta work on those quick kicks.
Certainly wasn't Rastetter. Went 35 yards and had a measurable hang time.

One year we reached the intramural flag football championship game for the dorm division. The game was in the old indoor practice facility, the bubble.
We were horsing around before the game trying to reach the roof with our punts.
Most of us could hit it, 46 feet high.
There had to be a kid somewhere on campus who could have punted better than Rastetter.
After all, Hayden Fry spotted Rob Houghtlin as he was kicking in an intramural contest.
Rob ended up making some of the biggest kicks in Iowa football history.

so, can we assume that our punters stink because they have to practice their kicking by not kicking it too high so they don't hit the ceiling? $400 trillion facilities and they didn't make the roof high enough?

Reggie Roby's punts occasionally were as high as the level of the old Kinnick press box.
What a weapon he was.

But do they have an uncle that is a good friend of Ferentz that donates as much money to the program?

i remember being at the UCLA game in '81 and sitting in the south end zone bleachers. Iowa had to punt from like their own 5 and roby was stand at the back of the end zone. when he kicked it, it sounded like an explosion and his punt was something like 68 yards. i just remember the sound and watching the return guy almost have to sprint backwards to reach the ball. Didn't he avg like 49.8 yards a punt his SR season? I mean, that is incredible.

I think that was his junior year. And I would love to know what his net average was. He kicked it as high as he did far. Had a long NFL career. Sadly lost him at a young age. Dan Mc Carney was the original recruiter on him, back at the end of the Bob Commings era.
The most interesting thing about Iowa's rugby punting last year is that usually when you have a guy do that the ball gets kicked in a line drive and hits the ground and acts like a bouncer in baseball, and usually they get some distance that way. However, Rastetters rugby punts would hit the ground and stop, bounce sideways, or bounce backward. Shit you'd have a hard time finding a guy that could rugby punt like that on purpose.
