BCS national championship preview: LSU-Alabama

Can the Tigers beat the Tide for a second time this season?



STRENGTHS - Wing has a strong leg and has the skill to angle punts very well. In the games that I evaluated he showed the ability to get the ball off quickly. He has the ability to situational kick and when needed he is able to get very good hang time on his kicks. His sophomore season he had 59 punts, averaging 44.8 with 21 punts inside the 20 compared to 10 touchbacks.

WEAKNESSES - When Wing is out of rhythm he does not get a great punt off. He showed inconsistency in hang time when he was in a situation where he needed a high punt over a line drive one. He was suspended for bowl game for reportedly failing a drug test.

SUMMARY - Wing has a very strong leg and has the ability to angle his kicks very well and pinning the opponents inside the 20. He gets the kick off quickly and did not have a punt blocked in his sophomore season and one in his freshmen season. When he is out of rhythm he struggles to get off a good solid kick and he is inconsistent with hang time. His character has come into question with the reported failed drug test causing him to be suspended for the bowl game. Overall Wing is very talented and would be an asset and if he is able to concentrate on football, he has the opportunity to have a long career.
