punt

After gaining one first down, they lined up for a punt on fourth down and tried some of the trickery that had worked so well in recent weeks.

After transferring from Arizona State, Cole has become a critical part of the Bruins secondary, making 41 tackles and three pass breakups while also converting two fake punts on special teams.

They didn’t punt all game, something that hadn’t happened since Week 16 of 2021.

The Bruins appeared ready to line up for a 55-yard field goal in the first half before taking a delay of game and punting.

Now, drives that stall around midfield are no longer automatic punting situations but true scoring opportunities.
