I will be posting my thoughts on all the punts from the PAC-12 championship game...
First Qtr
11:58 - AZ just stopped OR, 4th & 5 at around the AZ 17... I was hoping OR would punt but they opted to kick a FG instead. Disappointing coaching decision there by the "Quack Attack."
?!? - My DVR just fucked me up and I missed the rest of the first Qtr ARRGGHHH. But I did see Arizona fuck up a little "quick kick" punt from deep in enemy territory that rolled in for a touchback. Puntguy rating: TBD (~48)
Second Qtr
14:54 - OR punting at their 39 on 4th & 15, weird looking formation... high snap tactfully controlled by the OR punter for a nice kick, fair caught around the AZ 17. Puntguy rating: 73
If anyone has any info on any punts I missed in the first quarter, please leave a comment!
13:31 - They're coming fast and furious!! AZ punting from their 26 on 4th & 1... a low bouncy shitty punt that got grabbed at the OR 32 and returned 19 yards to the OR 49. Puntguy rating: 32
10:15 - OR has 4th & goal at the AZ 1 (possibly closer)... this is one time on 4th down that I concede it would be wiser go for it rather than punt... WOW, two false start penalties pushing OR back to the 10 - might be a good time to punt right here... OOPS the OR coach is a moron, they went for the FG and of course MISSED it. Come one you jackass, everyone knows you should fake the FG and kick a punt in that situation. Welcome to fucking amateur hour!!
9:00 - AZ has to punt from their own end zone on 4th & 20, and he has proven so far this evening to be horrible, this could be returned for a TD... booted to half field and then returned 10 yards to the AZ 39. This guy is having a nightmare game. Puntguy rating: 32
7:00 - AZ punting again, wow does their offense stink. 4th & 8 from their 26... high punt, bounces nice and high at the OR 37, picked up by OR returner at the OR 32, returned 7 yds to the OR 39. Another mediocre punt for AZ. Puntguy rating: 34
5:26 - OR offense blowing chunks on this drive, a punt is coming up... 4th & 27 from their own 25... the AZ returner got blocked out of the play by his own guy, the punt lands at the AZ 44 and rolls safely to the AZ 40. AZ looks like a complete mess despite this blah punt. Puntguy rating: 47
3:54 - AZ is awful. 4th & 25 from their own 25 means another punt... and this one is boomed downfield for a fair catch at the OR 21. GREAT punt!! Puntguy rating: 73
1:19 - Another AZ drive, another AZ punt. 4th & 3 from their own 28... awkward looking punt lands around the OR 38 and takes a really beautiful roll down to the OR 23. It looks like this guy has finally warmed up after at least 6 punts already. Puntguy rating: 69
Third Qtr
12:46 - AZ finally got a first down. But only one, so now its 4th & 1 from their own 46, but another bad coaching decision in the works as it looks like they're going to go for it... of course he FAILED. Another coaching failure. Horrible play call. They finally got a chance to put OR back on their heels but because they opted to NOT PUNT, OR now has wonderful field position!
6:34 - Where did all the punts go?
4:33 - They're BACK! AZ once again in 4th down, ten yards to go from their 26.... Low punt looks like it was shot out of a cannon, angled out of bounds at the OR 20. Third great kick in a row, this guy is redeeming himself. Puntguy rating: 74
2:10 - OR runner falls down well short of a first down, 4th & 8 from the AZ 47, OR punter has an opportunity here for a great punt... looked like a great punt, bounced at the 5 but not enough english on it and the bounced just across the goal line for a TB. BUT WAIT... there's a flag - holding against the Ducks. AZ starts at the 30 for a post-penalty net of 17 yds. Puntguy rating: 59
Fourth Qtr
15:00 - Great way to start off a quarter, with a punt. AZ in 4th & 6 from the OR 45, good coaching decision to go for the punt here... Another high snap, nice high punt bounces backwards at the 6 right into the hands of an OR player standing around at the 10 yd line who picks up 3 on the return. Puntguy rating: 73
13:28 - Only 90 seconds later, OR is punting in a 4th & 2 sitch from their own 22... Kicks it to the AZ 44 and it takes a nice roll OOB at the AZ 36. Puntguy rating: 42
10:36 - AZ going for it on 4th & 11 from the OR 31 but a flag for a false start and now its 4 & 16 at the OR 36, perfect spot for a punt but being down 37 the coach decides to go for it again. Two yd run means they failed and OR gets the ball on downs. Should have punted there dude.
9:50 - OR has replaced their starters already but I wonder if they will also replace their punter because he's being outplayed by the AZ punter right now.
6:32 - It's been an active and nice fantasy football day for these punters.
0:00 - Ackkk - the game ran over and my DVR shut down, fucking me over again. I just caught the AZ garbage time TD to end the game but based on the score it doesn't look like I missed any more punts. Thanks for sticking around, Check back on Sunday for another live blog (game TBD).
