Duke averaged 29 yards per punt against UConn, which resulted in us losing the field position game:

Did we solve this problem in practice this week? How many yards per punt do we average against Viriginia?

Asack punting the ball might be the most hilarious play I've seen in a game of football.

Duke pooch-kicked alot when Spurrier was coach. Usually it was Dave Brown doing the punting on 3rd and long, and he was very effective. While pooch punting (when it looked like we were going for it) on 4th and 3 from around the 50 was a much maligned play in the stands, it was our best punt of the day, gaining about 35 yards. Granted, 20 of it was roll after the squib kick went about 15 yards in the air, but it was still effective and a better result than either of our "regular" punters provided last week. I certainly hope one of them remembered in practice how well they punted in HS and figured out how they could do it in college...

Trust me in that there is very little hang time to go with the paltry average. I can't wait to hear Bob say he boomed one out of there when a 40 yarder is accomplished;)

Heh. Didn't John Elway do a quick-kick once for the Broncos?

Kevin Jones punted five times for 213 yards. That equates to 42.6 yards per punt. His long was 53 yards.

well done, Kevin. Do we have a winner? Any other bright spots from those who may have watched the whole game? I was only able to see about 1 1/2 quarters.

yeah, we defended the UVA snap rather well.

What was the turnover count? I watched about half the game and saw no fumbles or picks.

With avg FG accuracy it should have been under a 1 score margin.

One person voted for 41 - 50.
