Unsung hero: Eric Guthrie

[olivecourt]

How good was he today? 5 punts for a 48-yard average. With all of our first half struggles, Pitt was never able to flip field position on us, and he was a huge reason why. To play that badly and only be down 7 at half is a huge testament to the punter. Great game.

this.

 

[Billso]

Agreed. He was huge.

 

[Hawkeye11en1]

[Sirhouseman]

Guthrie has done a nice job ... He was booming the ball today ...

KF mentioned him in the press conference. He is punting well.

 

[ICHawk24]

His unofficial 2011 stats from espn.com box scores:

13 punts, 577 yards, 44.4yp, ZERO touchbacks, 4 inside the 20.

opponents punt returns: 5 for 26 yards, 5.2 ypr

so net average should be 42.4. thats impressive.

Agree 100%. Just about the only bright spot through three quarters today, and I agree he was a big reason why we were even in the game at the half. GREAT job out of Guthrie!

Amen! Part of the game that is overlooked by many! Great weapon to have.
