When I woke up this morning, all I could remember was the punting. I wrote a few thousand words’ worth of instant reactions during Wednesday night’s Texas Bowl, but I had shuffled it all to the back of my mind in favor of Punter PTSD (PPTSD?). My dreams last night were basically this on repeat:
On Dec. 27, 2017, we saw the Jordan Shrugs game of college football punting.
Eight of his 11, 73 percent, were downed inside the 10. This genuinely may have been the best punting game of the last 10 years in college football, and I’m not sure it was close.
