Who was the guy who had the 20 something yard punt ? Why is Pulliam not punting all of the time ? Chances are we will have to punt more than we have year to date. Failure to execute could be critical this week

Surely this last game sealed the deal. He basically gift wrapped that lone TD for niu. Time to put the redshirt on him

I don’t get it at all. If you want to try to angle one, pooch it, or sky one into the clouds, we’ve seen decades of evidence that guys can effectively do those things with practice. But the sideways running rugby kick? You’re just asking for a shank

He's shanked two of his six attempts. The others have been decent I guess. The first one (36 yards) you would like to see a little longer to pin the offense deeper than the 19. I'm not going to complain about 42, 45, and 44. The two 21 yarders though....both of them cost us points. The one against AZ State changed the momentum going into the half.

Yards Starting position
36 USM 19
42 USM 27
45 AZ St 38
21 AZ St 33 led to FG before halftime
44 AZ St 4*
21 MSU 27 led to NIU touchdown


*led to 95 yard FG drive but that ain't on him!!

Pulliam is going to be the guy this week. We've been holding back several things that you'll see this week.

Bad punt, I'll agree with that. On the punt in question, we were backed up, and he was punting near back of the end zone.
We had posted three blockers rather deep in front of him, for protection. He ran sideways to punt. Did not go well.
Not sure all of this was his fault.

Truce has talent. In warm ups he was pumping very high easy to cover 45 yard punts. When he got in the game in a pressure situation he ‘busted like a Trojan.’ That being said, he is a raw rookie. Pullman looks like a safer bet right now. Hail State!

I don't understand the whole big show of moving the blockers directly in front of the punter. It's a big *** show that can distract the guy just wanting to receive the snap and put the ball deep in play but he has dudes jumping around in front of him. Maybe a cute move that needs to be 86'd. Just line up and be men for a change!

Shouldn't we have an Australian punter? They are supposed to be the best. Seems like everyone else has one.
