Week 9: UC Davis @ Montana i have no reason to excuse our low rating on punting. i wish i could put it on directional punting within the 20 yard line, but i don't think that explains it. we've had way too many short punts (i think we had a 5 yarder vs. ISU?) that originated from our side of the field. its a concern. unless the offense is going crazy and we don't have to punt!
