See... punters are cool.


Congrats to my little brother Teddy who was named the Big East Special Teams Player of the week! Here is a part of the article about him from the Rutgers Football page...


"Dellaganna played a huge role in the outcome of Saturday’s game against Connecticut. He averaged 41.7 yards on seven punts with four of his kicks pinning the Huskies inside their own 20-yard line. Connecticut’s best field position in the second half was its own 24-yard line. The Huskies had five drives that started inside the 15-yard line in the second half. Dellaganna’s second-half kickoff was fielded at the one-yard line where the return man was tackled. After a defensive stand, the Scarlet Knights got the ball on the UConn 37-yard line where they scored the first touchdown of the contest. Later, Dellaganna’s punt pinned the Huskies on their own two-yard line and the first play of the drive resulted in a safety.
Dellaganna had a long punt of 56 yards in the contest and is averaging 41.9 yards per punt with 14 of his 42 punts landing inside the 20-yard line and 10 more traveling at least 50 yards."
