  • Punter

    I noticed at an early UNI intra-squad scrimmage at Wartburg that our punter was slow to punt. Seemed to be evident, again, at NDSU. I think our punter is just too deliberate with catch and step, or, do you think it was a blocking breakdown; any thoughts?

    I'm guessing that the 5 guys that busted through the line is more of a problem.

      NDSU put a lot of guys through -- the TV commentators made a remark about our guys not concentrating on punt blocking because maybe they were thinking about getting downfield for return coverage. Probably had a point, because the rest of the punts never seemed to be in danger of another block.

          I am not huge supporter of the spread punt formation we put in. I am not a fan because of exactly what happened on that first one. They can load too many people up and get through really easily. It is used mostly if you have a rugby punter or if you have trouble covering a punt. He is slightly slow, but there was too much pressure.

            nothin against KB and all,
            but I say we just avoid the problem altogether and be sure to convert on all our 3rd downs.

              I thought Farley made a good point on the post-game show about how they hadn't punted in a game for two weeks and hadn't run the punt at game speed for a while.

                How many punts has UNI had blocked this season?

                    Until this happens on a regular basis...I'm not ready to jump the shark and say this is a problem.
