Spotlight on Zoolander Blake O'Neill

Submitted by UMProud on


"Now, he's Michigan's starting punter, part of a growing number of Australians who have become college football kickers in the United States after training at ProKick Academy back home. O'Neill is a graduate transfer after playing one season at Weber State, where he averaged 44.1 yards a game and had a long of 74 yards."

"O’Neill believes the Australian style of punting has its advantages. He kicks the ball at an angle, making adjustments depending on the situation, as opposed to the typical American punter who dropkicks the ball in a repetitive motion every single kick."

I thought it was somewhat humorous to see him use a hand warmer at Saturday's game when no one else was. Not knocking him. I'd be doing the same if I came from Australia and was fielding long snaps.

44.1 yards per game? Weber State offense must have been really good to punt so rarely.

If this "Australian women are the easiest in the world" thing is true, it raises an interesting dilemma (or perhaps a cost-benefit analysis opportunity):

-Australia, attractive, easy women (+)

-Australia, everything you encounter can kill you (-)
