Mark Dantonio has been lucky to have great kickers and punters over the years. Unfortunately, the 2018 season hasn’t gone quite as expected with the latter as both Jake Hartbarger and Tyler Hunt have been ruled out for the season, leaving Michigan State without a starting punter.
As for the kicker position, his luck has continued. The Spartans have one of the best kickers in the nation in sophomore Matt Coghlin.
Just how good has the second-year kicker from Ohio been? He’s 11-for-12 on the season, missing his first field goal against Purdue last weekend. His consecutive field goals made surpassed 15 before his miss against the Boilermakers, but his success continues to go relatively unnoticed.
