Senior punter Max Duffy and senior offensive tackle Landon Young have been named to the ESPN All-Bowl Team for their performances in the 23-21 win over No. 23 NC State in the Gator Bowl. Both had previously been named to the AP All-Bowl Team as well.
Duffy, a native of Perth, Australia, punted five times in the win, and NC State’s average starting yard line was its own 16. One of those punts saw Duffy avoid disaster after an NC State player shot a gap and was going to block the punt. But at the last moment, Duffy held on to the ball as the player dove past him before getting off a 42-yard punt to the NC State 19.
