Big Ten Problems: Best, worst punts of the year happen in the same game

Rain has affected a number of Big Ten games across the midwest, and that is certainly the case for Purdue’s home game against Illinois.
It has become a battle of punts, and Illinois’ punter currently has the upper hand.
As you can see below, he launched one of the best punts you’ll ever see, bouncing it off the pylon to down it at the 1-yard line:

He couldn’t do that again in 1,000 tries, but it worked this time. That’s a great effort.
Purdue, on the other hand, didn’t have such good luck with their punter, who turned in this disastrous effort:

Based on those punts, you shouldn’t be surprised to learn that Illinois is winning the game comfortably.
