top 20 in net punting is a bold claim for a program that hasn't cracked the top 40 in years. we faced special teams units all last season that were far more disciplined, and virginia tech's never stood out. hidden yardage only matters if your offense can actually capitalize on it, and their offense has been stuck in neutral for a while now. they're talking about winning two games off punting, which sounds like they're already admittnig their offense and defense can't get the job done on their own. we've seen this story before, a team overhyping one phase to cover for glaring weaknesses elsewhere. frank beamer isn't walking through that door, and their special teams haven't been special in a long time. they'll need a lot more than a good punter to handle the schedule they have. i'll believe it when i see it, because right now it just sounds like wishful thinking from a fanbase that knows their ceiling is pretty low. our special teams units are consistently among the best, and we don't need to hang our season hopes on net punting averages. let them focus on that, we'll be focused on scoring points and winning games outright.
