already matching the number from last year and most since 2019 (21) with zero touchbacks

Buschini has been good this year and it's showing up in the box score and on the scoreboard

complimentary football, folks. it's a beautiful thing!

Yep. He's had a few bad games, but he came in real clutch last week and helped us win. I like what our ST has been doing outside of continuing to not return punts. That bugs the **** out of me.

Being at the game I felt like he didn't do that great besides the one long punt where they muffed and recovered...I remember twice where he may not have gotten 30 yards on the punt and they got the ball at midfield.

7 punts, 41 yard avg, 4 inside the 20, -1 return yards allowed

pretty good on the whole

Most of them coming directly into the wind as well. The 55 yarder into the wind was huge at the time.

Yep looks like Colorado game was a fluke. Great D and solid punting will win a lot of games as long as offense doesn’t turn the ball over

True but I want to see fewer punts

85th in punting yards avg this year. 94th in net punting this year.

we're rarely punting from deep inside our own territory

also I see that we're 72nd in net punting, not 94th

Never have I heard that label put on anything football. It was called doing your job, what you were trained to do for the team.

Ed Foley getting $550,000 a year and nothing special on ST this year. Need some block punts and punt returns of 25+ yards.

We‘ve had a blocked punt and almost got another last week. Go back and watch the punt return situations and let us know which punts had a remote chance of being returned for 25+ yards. We’ve had several opportunities to return but not even close to 10 yards let alone 25. Many punts not even returnable.

Kickoff returns have been better. Punt coverage has been very good. Alvano was solid the last game & seems like he’s gaining some confidence. We haven’t had any punts blocked that I recall. Correct me if I’m wrong on that. I’d say those are all better than the last several years.

I’m just glad we’re catching punts now
