Yeah, the punt game was on point.
It's been the best part of both games so far, IMO.
Good punting will keep us in games we should be
I would say this qualifies as improvement
Does anyone else listen to the solid verbal? I read this, and in my head I immediately heard their sound board song for 'outstanding performance in a losing effort'
While I'm happy for Moore, is this really one you want your team to be recognized for? 7 punts? Would much rather have drives result in points.
It is one of the things I'd like my team to be known for. It's a great part of Special Teams.
3 punts downed inside the 20 is badass. Could have been the difference maker if the O could have gotten their shit together in the 2nd half.
I learned from Beamer that special teams can make a difference.
So yeah, I'll take that as a positive sign.
If I remember correctly, having a good punter was instrumental in our last win over Rutgers
