It looks like our punt return team rushers

[93hawkeye]

are coached to penetrate the backfield far enough to deter fakes, but not try to block the punt? Is that how you see it?

Recover fumble, see if they get a clean shot and keep the offense honest. Most teams do it.

Depends on the call.

Nothing more demoralizing than roughing the punter or letting them run on a fake. Kirk has not forgotten the loss to Wisconsin in 2010 ? when our rushers peeled back and ruined the season.

They're coached to penetrate dry.

They're coached to penetrate dry.

And that requires great coaching because there’s nothing pleasant about it.
