This is not something we normally say, but you absolutely have to see this punt.
Illinois and Purdue matched up on a wet and miserable day in a battle between Big Ten bottom-feeders, and it certainly lived up to expectations. Purdue punter Danny Carollo raised the bar, however, with one of the single worst punts we have ever seen.

What happened? Carollo barely even got a foot on the ball.

That is, in the end, a 15-yard punt. The only good fortune here is that the Boilermakers were punting from inside Illinois territory, meaning the Illini got the ball at their own 25.
Don’t ever underestimate how much hilarity can come out of a botched special teams play. This one was simple, yet so elegant.
