How many times did Vandy punt?
Could the punter not have done what she did? What about the long snapper that was available?
There were other options
You want to know my "not full of shite" theory? Derek Mason knew he was going to be fired after this game (that part isn't a theory. Evidently he knew that was his last game) so for whatever reason, since he didn't have a kicker, instead of letting a some of the players try out, he decided to give her a chance.
From all accounts, he is a really good dude. Maybe he did it just to bring some attention to a really good year by the female soccer team. Either way, does it really matter? Vandy hadn't won a game all year, their HC was getting fired after the game, this hasn't been a normal season anyway. So why not?

I believe the better question is why? There is no logical reason to do this.

Look, I actually agree with what you said. And I also think that it was sort of a "well, whatever" decision by Derek Mason.
I don't really have a problem with what Vandy did per se. What I have a problem with are all the dumbasses across the country screaming about women "breaking the glass ceiling" in football. It's an absolute farce and travesty. And, as many have already pointed out, its a disservice to actual female athletic accomplishments.
This is not an historic breakthrough moment for women in football. Any insinuation that it is is just a big lie.
