Plus, I was surprised they were counting the distance on King's shanks. Morstead only had one land out of bounds and it landed just on the stripe. It looked like King had 4 go well OOB.


If it's a true punting competition, then King could be winning bc while his kicks were going out of bounds Morstead had several go into the endzone.

If it was a pinning the opponent deep competition then perhaps but it wasn't. It was for distance. The King lost.

Ahh yes. The ole "gameplan for one set of rules and then judge on another". As if Morestead would bomb them in a coffin corner comp.

It was only a distance/hang time competition. Placement had zero bearing.

So both had their kicks measured at the landing spot regardless of where that was.

If they were going for placement neither would have kicked like they did (King would have had a ton of shanks before the 20 and Morstead some TBs; Morstead would still win in that sense as he had the better net).
