BYU football notebook: Special teams still a work in progress for Cougars

PROVO — You couldn't blame BYU punter Jonny Linehan for feeling a little bored last Saturday.

The New Zealand native and Cougar rugby star didn’t get to punt once during the Cougars’ 70-6 rout of Wagner.

“LOVE my QB's,” Linehan tweeted over the weekend. “But was it too much to ask for just ONE punt? It takes me 38 minutes to figure out how to put my pads on. I wanna play too!”

On the other hand, the Cougar punt return team got plenty of work in after forcing nine Seahawk punts. Freshman Michael Shelton had five punt returns for 94 yards, including a 40-yarder.
