Shanking one out of the end zone should have disqualified him from the list.

Damn, even pros shank it every now & then.  Of course I want perfection too, but after 44 years, I'm still searching!  Here's to Dickson continuing to flip the field for the Horns!  Hook 'em!

Damn. The award is for that week only. He's a good punter but you don't give him the award for that week because his shank came at a critical time in the game and cost 7 points. If you want to give him a participation award go right ahead. Damn.
