He’s shanked 2 in four games. Let’s leave him on the sideline
Australian punter, didn’t touch a football before 2023.
26 year-old freshman? That's nothing.

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.

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!
