Ruth isn’t completely absent of fault, but even in punt safe, once the ball is in the air Milton’s got to step in. There have been several other times in which it looked like we were putting ourselves in that position.I think it is a couple things. Milton should have been a little more demonstrative in calling Ruth off, and there was no reason for Ruth to be back there trying to block. ISU was in extreme punt safe, so there was no way there was going to be a return. Darn soccer style kicks also make this tricky. Glad the team was able to overcome it.
I hope Dunn can fine tune his rugby kicks. They can be equally challenging for the return team.
