— The punt segment surely drew some of Solich's ire. Ohio attempted four punts; the first two likely would have been blocked if the plays were run at game speed. Also during the segment, the Bobcats had two alignment penalties and returner Ian Dixon muffed a punt catch that would stand as the only 'turnover' of the day. Punter Grant Venham had three very good kicks in his four attempts.


This could get ugly, Louisville has great athletes, and a hostile environment.

I remember him saying basically the same thing last year about this same time in camp...


Word via various twitter sources today seems to indicate that so far today has been a better day -

Anyone else still feeling like our special teams coaching still needs improvement?

That punt should have never been fielded. Who cares if it rolls to the 20? One first down and Tyler finishes the game in the Victory Formation. Absolutely, that is coaching.

That punt rolls to the one foot line, we end up with a safety and they get the ball back, there would be a thread saying "catch the darn ball"!

Is that ball going to roll for 39 yards? It was a high kick and Carrie fumbled on the 39. At the worst OU would have the ball around the 20.

Travis is supposed to make the catch, but he didn't. If the coaches tell him to do the fake fair catch, then get out of the way, there is a 0% chance he muffs a punt he isn't anywhere close to. A fumble there is about the only way the Cats lose that game. The staff needed to eliminate the risk, yet didn't do it.

My bad, I misread the play by play, the ball was kicked from the 21 and muffed at the 39. However he called for a fair catch and was under the ball. Water under the bridge.

What is the rule on giving the receiver room to catch the ball? is it one yard or two? Either way, it appeared the CMU guys (I think there were two) were within one yard of Carrie.

I don't know if you want to watch it again or not, I also do not know if Carrie called for a Fair Catch, but you can watch it at the 30 second mark here -

The two-yard "halo" rule is no longer in effect. Basically, all the kicking team has to do is not touch the guy and they are fine. They can get as close as they want, more or less.

Watching that clip, even more reinforces my opinion that he simply has to make that catch, he was under the ball, just misplayed it.  It happens, move on.

Thanks. I didn't know that. Given that rule change, I would think coaches would be less inclined to let the deep man fair catch in traffic. It's simply too dangerous when the opponent can stand in your grill under no penalty.

Still have to give room to catch it.  I'm quite sure that I've seen that penalty called this year without contact...I think.

It's probably a referee judgment call. The penalty is "kick catch interference" so technically, if someone got right in a guy's face without touching it could be called I guess.

At least Frank knows it. Along with the rest of ESPN viewers.
