Throw out the first punt since it was downed at the 8

That bumps that up to 35 net yards. Still not great. But fans are making it sound like Linehan was shanking all of his punts and when he was punting, BYU was giving up huge returns. That's just not the case.

Bad news, as far as D-1 punters go Linehan doesn't have that strong of a leg

His net is solid though. And he does well pinning teams deep.

So your theory is that every time that BYU will punt normally

Three punts returned for 29 yards vs Linehan punts

So far the 35-45 with no return hasn't been that bad. Better than a 10 yard

40 yard net is great... last game it was closer to low 30s

Almond kicked it around 50 IIRC, but coverage sucked

Rugby style punts don't normally get great hang time

He needs to get more of a line drive so he gets that bounce.
