AUpocalypse 12 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Terry Daniels- punter and the place kicker.. too hard to choose from. Del Greco, Wes Byrum, Duval... John Vaughn minus LSU in '05.. Scott Etheridge.. too many that really pulled through for us over the years. going with Byrum. He beat Florida twice in the same game. His leg brought home our 2nd NC.

au1985 55 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 David Beverly was ahead of his time as a punter. Not sure any other Auburn punter had the NFL career David Beverly did. He has been nominated several times for Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. He still has team records while playing at Green Bay in the 1970s. He had amazing hang time and accuracy (inside the 10 and to one side of the field) for his day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,777 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Gant kicked for bama, why is he listed with Gardner??? Maybe because he's one of our all-time favorite punters? Does "Punt Bama Punt" ring a bell? You might have to get your giggle goin' a little.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbygpaw 36 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 punter - Jon Kilgore Agree with John Kilgore. On Shug's teams that did not score many points and relied on defense and field position, Kilgore kept the opponent pinned down for 4 quarters.

AdamsHouseCat 43 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Neil O'Donoghue 9 year NFL career. Should be near the top of the list.... Not to say he wasn't a great kicker, but didn't he transfer to Florida after a disappointing miss against Bama and then turned around and beat us with a field goal?

No. You are thinking of someone else, whose name doesn't need to be typed here. You are correct on the incident(s), but it wasn't O'Donoghue.

No doubt that was tough to swallow, but his body of work as a whole can't be denied. I believe be was AU's all-time leading scorer when he left.

AU64 10,122 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Y'all are too young...surely you remember Ed Dyas ('57-60) ....one of the first really good FG kickers back in the day when 10 or 14 points was usually enough to win a game.

trout54 55 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Terry Daniel is also one of the better golfers I have ever played with. Has a tremendous long game. It's a shame he wasn't able to play in the nfl due to injuries. Those same injuries didn't prevent him from playing for us, and it didn't keep him from tearing it up at the combines. There was no "waiver" he could sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSVTIGER 5 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I can't believe nobody mentioned Skip Johnston (Boom it Skip, boom it,) y'all are all hereby banned from J&M Bookstore! He could launch the most beautiful spirals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanharehaint 16 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 In addition to being a great punter, Baumgartner was also the back-up quarterback. Anyone remember his coming off the bench in 1975 to beat Kentucky with a 72-yard pass to Jeff Gilligan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
