Former Gator punting legend Johnny Townsend joins us this week to talk about the life of a special teamer, as well as the growing impact special teams is having on the game of football. We also discuss a Florida-LSU series that\'s been defined by special teams plays, and preview the rivalry\'s upcoming chapter. *DISCLAIMER* this episode was recorded, edited and published prior to any news being released about a COVID-19 outbreak within Florida\'s program, and thus any announcements of a postponed game; because of this, these topics were not discussed in the episode and the Florida-LSU game was discussed as though it was set to be played as scheduled. However, Johnny gave us our time, and our discussion was much broader than just the upcoming game on Saturday. Therefore, regardless of what winds up happening to the Florida-LSU game on October 17, this is still at least a relevant discussion that we feel was worth publishing at this time. We kindly ask that you listen with that in mind, and we thank you for understanding.
