VIDEO: Illinois Punter Blake Hayes May Have Delivered Most Perfect Kick Ever
By Parker White

Typically when you watch highlights of Saturday's college football action, you can almost guarantee you won't be seeing a punter do anything that catches your eye. Well, Illinois punter Blake Hayes went ahead and changed that narrative with one of the best kicks you'll ever see. Seriously, this boot was damn near perfect:

Are you serious? Talk about a friendly bounce, but man what a kick.
Illinois' offense made it to the 35-yard line before they were forced to punt on 4th down. Hayes' job was to pin Purdue back so they'd need to record a long drive to score, but he did that and more with the ball hitting the pylon and forcing them to start at the one-yard line. Kudos to you, Mr. Hayes.
