We might finally have a punt return!
Notre Dame won a thriller in Charlottesville this weekend over a tough Virginia team. The special teams game features plusses and minuses, but mostly plusses. Let's get to it.
ND Kickoff
Tyler Newsome handled all 7 kickoffs for the Irish on Saturday, booting them for 427 yards, an average of 61 yards per kick. 3 of these went for touchbacks. Having been at the game and sitting in the top row of the stadium opposite the grassy field where the UVA students were, I can say that there was a breeze blowing towards us, which both kickoff kickers took advantage of.
