Who should punt for Oklahoma State?

Oklahoma State's kickoff specialist/punter Quinn Sharp is academically ineligible for Wednesday's Alamo Bowl.
That's bad news for the Cowboys.
Sharp kicked off 98 times this season and touchbacks were the result of 53 of those boots.
Touchbacks are great for the defense. Automatically, the opposition must travel 80 yards for a score. An 80-yard drive is pretty hard to manufacture consistently.
Oklahoma State's Lou Groza Award winning kicker Dan Bailey can handle the kickoff duties in the Alamo Bowl. He handled OSU's kickoff chores prior to the 2009 season.
Earlier this season, Bailey told me he would really like a shot at kicking off, but realized Sharp could consistently put the bowl into the end zone for touchbacks.
Bailey may not put every kickoff into the end zone, but OSU's kick coverage has improved greatly as the season progressed and shouldn't be a problem against Arizona.
Punting is the larger problem.
Sharp handled every punting opportunity this season. He had a 46.2 yard average and placed 15 punts inside the 20. He had a 78-yard punt against Nebraska.
Gundy has options.
Bailey, a senior, punted in high school but hasn't punted in college. OSU could turn to redshirt freshman Michael Reichenstein from Dallas.
Reichenstein didn't return to playing football until his junior year at Dallas Jesuit College Prep school. He played football in the fifth, sixth and eighth grades.
Reichenstein didn't have many opportunities in his senior year. He played behind Notre Dame signee Nick Tausch. In the National Combine Dallas semi-final, his punting average was 48 yards with a hang time of 4.17 seconds.
He has a lot of potential but, like Bailey, hasn't punted in a college game.
What does a head coach do?
• Go with your senior and hope he doesn't wear the leg out and miss a key field goal.
• Pick the redshirt freshman, putting him into a bowl-game pressure cooker.
• Hope the Cowboys' offense is so prolific that it doesn't have to punt or has to punt rarely in the Alamo Bowl. OSU punted just once in a 55-28 win over Baylor and didn't punt at all when it beat Kansas, 48-14.
You have got to believe Gundy will put the ball in the hands of a trusted senior for the punting chores as well and hope for the best.
