Is Blake Gillikin Penn State's best punter ever?

[john4psu]

We saw what a difference having Blake Gillikin as our punter last year compared to the few years prior to that and his value in helping turn around field position for the Nittany Lions. Is Gillikin on his way to becoming Penn State’s all-time best punter? Is he that now?

Like Barkley, he's great, but he needs blockers.

Jeremy "pop a booner" Boone was really good. They are both actually averaging 43.1 yards a punt which is crazy. I think Gilikin will certainly surpass that.

Ralph Giacammaro. 4 year starter, national championship team punter.

Yes. Not only can he boom it, he has also been good at placing the ball inside the 10.

Bob Parsons who was recruited as and played some quarterback for PSU punted for the Bears for 11 years from ‘72 - ‘83.

He also played a LOT of tight end for PSU and the Bears.

If it wasn't for Bruno's punting early in the Fiesta Bowl I don't think we beat Miami for the NC.

Not yet. When it's all said and done? Wouldn't be surprised. He's already the best I've seen at kicking it inside the opponents' 20 yard line.

Darn straight! Great performance in National Championship game against Canes.

May be off, but didn't Bruno win the MVP in bowl game one year? Thinking score was like 9-0

He was widely considered the UNOFFICIAL most valuable player in the National Championship game against Miami.
