man i tell you what...... and I'm being serious on this...

Brad Wing has the accuracy of a qb throwing with his foot, almost. It was no accident those balls landed where they did. It was no luck. Could you see the spin on the balls? he's planting them inside the 5, with a backwards spin on purpose, so that if they are not caught, they dont bounce into the endzone.

He hasnt kicked a long punt yet with his left. The Oregon game was in the dome, and had the monster screen, so he went right footed. If we ever have to punt from our 25 or deeper, this dude will boom a 70 or 75 yarder like it's nothing.

His control is UNREAL. add to that Hairston has a gorilla leg, and our ST is going to be DOMINANT for years to come

I think with the success of Wing, we may see the exploration of using rugby kickers by other college teams and perhaps even the NFL.

He punted ever punt in the Oregon game with his left. He is a left footed punter.

He punted with his right in the spring game. You will never see him punt with his right foot unless he is injured.

Brad's dad referred to it as "passing the ball with his foot." Because that is what they do in Australian rules football...they pass the ball to each other with their feet.

He's a stud.
