It wasn’t that long ago that the Arizona Wildcats were one of the best punting teams in college football. From 2014-16 they ranked among the top 50 teams in FBS in punting average, the 45.6-yard rate in 2014 the best in school history.
Last year? Not so much.
Punting was without a doubt Arizona’s biggest weakness in 2017, so much so that offensive lineman Gerhard de Beer openly advocated—but was never given the chance—to line up deep. He probably couldn’t have been worse than what Jake Glatting and Josh Pollack combined to do.
