We learned that he is a below average punter in cold weather. He does not like the cold and that's a fact.

9 punts for a 37.4 yd avg.

His punts put Mizzou in terrible field position, especially in the first half.

He's a freshman. Watch his future cold weather games.

I wouldn't judge anything a punter did yesterday. My daughter's high school team pretty much lost their playoff game because of the wind yesterday and the kicking game. It was brutal weather for any kicker.

I thought it was the offense not able to score or get first downs that put the defense holes all season

808 - okay then, how did tenny's punter do on the same field? 7 for 45.3 avg.

Yes, it was brutal weather. I tailgated and was in the stands.

Fatony doesn't like cold, I watched him.

No, not blaming Fatony for this mess. He didn't really help. He was just another factor in a poorly played game by Mizzou O.

How many were into the wind for each? I didn't watch much of the Mizzou game, but I know the wind was crazy crazy crazy earlier in the day. Saw some punts in the high school game that were hit well and went 25 yards.

I can't tell you how many where into the wind.

Here's what D. Morrison of CoMo Tribune said:
"So it started a vicious cycle of short Tigers drives originating deep in their territory that -- combined with an off punting night from Corey Fatony -- led to a bunch of short field for Tennessee."

Leg fatigue is a thing...and Fatony likely has it.

Get an O line that can actually run block and a back that doesn't fall down BEFORE first contact and Fatony doesn't get fatigue except on his arse when he's sitting on the bench.

Initially, I thought Fatony's punting was bad also. Until...an astute colleague informed me that Fatony was intentionally kicking the ball away from Tennessee's dangerous return man all night! Then it made sense.

Give Fatony a break. He did a good job executing the game plan he was given.
