IMO alot of our success on defense came from Wing's ability to pin the opponent behind the 20 yard line. Anyone feel like we're gonna miss that this year?

Nah... Miles added another Aussie to his collection.

So he should be just as good?

Of course there's no way to know for sure, but with Miles current track record of punters being what it is, I trust that the person he starts will be quite good at his position. I like having another Aussie back there.

Most likely won't be quite as great as Wing, especially 2011, but I think they'll be fine. Miles has excelled at special teams, if nothing else.

I don't remember the details, but the first punt of 2012 sold me on him. I think it was a bad snap and he managed to chase it down and put off a good punt. Please some correct me, or give better details
I think we will be fine.

From what I've seen... he could get there. Just needs to improve his consistency a bit.

Keen (or however you spell it) is pretty good. He was killing it in the bowl game vs Clemson. Hes got the leg, just dont know about his short game yet

He might even be better than Wing. More hang time. One thing's for sure. This dude will try to lay out the ball handler. A great thing about punters with rugby backgrounds is they can tackle

Wing lost focus last year compared to the previous, so it may not be a drop. But, does this new Aussie have near the leg that Wing did?

He didn't play rugby, he played Australian Rules football. Completely different game, not remotely similar. But it is still a game with lots of tackling.

We have other more important issues that will keep us from playing for a championship next year
