Stefan Flintoft Named Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week
September 19, 2018 | Football
Augusta, GA -ย The Augusta Sports Council and the Ray Guy Award announced on Wednesday that Stefan Flintoftย was named the Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week for Week 3ย games.
Flintoft punted 6 times during UCLA's contest against Fresno State for a 48.83 netย yard average. Flintoft'sย net average actually was more than his gross (48.5) due to a negative return by Fresno State. It was the only one of his six punts to be returned by the Bulldogs as Fresno State called for a fair catch on three kicks, one went out of bounds and one was downed at the six yard-line. In all, twoย of his punts were marked inside the 20-yard line, two traveled 50+ yards and his long punt for the game was a career-best 70-yarder. UCLA recovered Fresno's fumble of one third quarter punt to help set up the touchdown drive which narrowed the Bulldogs' lead to 16-14.
Flintoft's season average of 45.6 yards per punt would be a career-high mark and it currently leads the Pac-12 Conference and is the 12th-best mark in the NCAA. UCLA will return to action next Friday night, Sept. 28, in the Pac-12 opener at Colorado (6 p.m. PT). The Bruins return to the Rose Bowl the following week to host No. 10 Washington in the conference home opener on Oct. 6 (kickoff time to be determined).
