DeKALB – Northern Illinois senior punter Jake Ambrose must have forgot who blocks for him.
During a light-hearted drill at practice on Tuesday morning, three defensive linemen faced off against three offensive linemen to see who could handle some punts.
The defensive line – William Lee, Mario Jones and Herlandez Corley – caught all three of their punts, although Jones and Corley both bobbled their attempts before hauling them in. However, when it was the offensive line's turn, the first two punts were well short and the final attempt sailed over senior left tackle Josh Ruka's head.
