Watch: Akron punter pulls off slick move against Tennessee

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 9/17/22

Akron didn’t have many highlights in their brutal 63-6 loss to Tennessee on Saturday, but their punter did show off a slick move.

Akron was punting on a 4th-and-21 down 35-0 early in the third quarter. Noah Gettman was just about to have his punt blocked, but he showed some great awareness. He tucked the ball down and waited for a Vols player to go past him. After his fake, he punted the ball away.

The Zips only managed two field goals in the game and didn’t do a whole lot well, but that was a nice play. Gettman had 8 punts for 304 yards in the game, which was good for an average of 38.
