When Jack Spicer first booted away a 38-yard punt early in the second quarter against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday, it looked like an accident. The punter fired a line drive off his foot, which bounced down to Georgia Tech’s 19-yard line before it rolled dead.
After his second punt, it became clear the line drives are no mistake. Spicer’s second punt of the game came in the final two minutes of the first half, when the specialist kicked away from the Miami Hurricanes’ 46-yard line. The punt went only 25 yards, but bounced off a Yellow Jacket and Shaquille Quarterman recovered for Miami, giving the Hurricanes a critical takeaway just before halftime.
