I've never really seen Townsend try to put any touch on a punt though, he's usually booming those 55+ and our guys down it deep.
This is one of those where your coaches/players know what they can do, and you trust them to go do it. Phenomenal execution that basically ended the game.

Colquitt his last few years used to be so concerned about touchbacks that he'd punt from the 50 yard line and end up having it caught at the 18. he erred too far on the side of caution.
Townsend has actually come a really long way this year in that regard. I honestly don't remember a single touchback from him this season and he's put a shitload inside the 20 (gotta be more than half) and they aren't those cheapies like Colquitt used to give us. He's hemming teams inside the 10.
Townsend was fairly disappointing last season but he's been really good this year. In fact, the only time I'm a little disappointed in him is when he's looking to boom the hell out of one.
