Dunn sucks. He’s the worst punter I’ve ever seen.
You mean a line drive, 40 yard punt directly to a guy that runs a 10 sec 100m is bad???
Between punting and outright refusing to put any pressure on opposing teams’ punters and field goal kickers, it’s no wonder they boom and make everything. It’s basically practice.
This staff’s approach to special teams ******* sucks.
This loss was 100% on this staff and special teams.

Another loss due to special teams. 469 yard on offense to 284 with Breece almost gaining 200. Pretty ******* sad
Reports are he can. I think he did it at Fordham
Even with that....there were like at least two gunners PAST him when he started up field?!?!?! We are marginal in the margins. Special Teams aside....WTF is up with the defense in the first half? Do we just cavalierly send our exact game plan to Baylor for their prep. I haven't looked at stats, but every play they ran in the first half on offense went exactly to script. I think they punted once? They were laughing at us on 4th and whatever...it's like "Hold our beer...we have a play for that" and they worked.
Now....the defensive players deserve a salute for the second half effort and execution. Just so wierd. Always going uphill.
They should be experimenting with that in my opinion.
Get a back up offensive lineman or some crap to punt the ball. Someone has to be better than Dunn. Even if they are not a punter, just make everyone punt the ball in practice and see if any other player can do it. It’s completely ridiculous
With kicking cleats, I’m sure the average, atleast somewhat athletic ISU student can punt it 30-40 yards.
Remember Kirby Van Der Kamp - ISU punter from 2010-13? His eligibility ran out eight years ago. He is just six months older than Corey Dunn. Dunn's 29th birthday is next month.
Yes ... summary in link below (largely PK stuff, but some punt details within).
Notable stuff from junior season:
• Averaged 40.4 yards/punt (70 punts for 2,827 yards) with a long of 57.
• Had nine punts of more than 50 yards.
• 30 of his 70 punts landed inside the 20 and 28 were fair caught.
Andrew Mevis - Football - Fordham University Athletics
Andrew Mevis (2) PK - Handled all of the punting and a majority of the placekicking chores for the past two years ... Earned First Team All-Patriot League honors
KU may be the game to try Mevis as a punter.
This staff's approach to special teams has literally cost us games.
- Not knowing at all what to do on the punt return team. No pressure on the punter whatsoever. Returners setting up way too close to the LOS, forcing them to run back 20+ yards to catch a punt. Calling fair catch on punts without a defender in sight as if they were instructed to do so. Blockers out of position or not even in the picture at all. A muffed punt where a blocker ran into the returner literally cost us the Iowa game.
- The inability to make a FG beyond 40 yards over the last several years, limiting our options to go for it or punt.
- Kickoffs costing us precious field position, from constantly kicking out of bounds to the inability to get a touchback to poor coverage. Field position literally cost us the Big 12 championship game and was the first cause for concern against Iowa this year.
These aren't isolated incidents - they are problems we see every single week, even when we're winning large. I really hate to say this, but Campbell addressing these problems at surface level (getting a kicker that can kick far enough to get touchbacks and kick long FGs) and not addressing the issue at its core, realizing that we need to take special teams more seriously and hire a dedicated coordinator, is going to cost him in the long run.
Great coach but maybe has that great coach weakness, stubbornness. Sort of when things be workin' good keep doing it but also when things be not work just keep doin' it.
