Iowa football: Kirk Ferentz not worried about the punting game

Heading into the 2019 season, I could honestly say the Iowa football team’s punting game was one of my biggest concerns because last year it was bad. It was really bad. Colten Rastetter had one of the worst yard per punt averages in the country and it even worse, he had a handful of ridiculously bad punts that switched field position less than 20 yards.

It’s something the Iowa football team historically has not struggled with, but last year, they did.

So this offseason when Arizona State punter Michael Sleep-Dalton decided to enter the transfer portal, the Iowa football team scooped up the graduate transfer to add some depth and competition to the position.
