The first half of Friday’s night game against San Diego State did not go well for Boise State punter Joel Velazquez. He got absolutely CLOBBERED<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With just under 10 minutes left in the second quarter, the Broncos lined up to punt at its own 49-yard-line. Velazquez, a 6-foot-0, 200-pounder, set up to kick at his own 35.<\/p>\n

What happened next was an epic fail. Boise’s line completely failed to block the SDSU edge rusher, who went entirely untouched into the backfield.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Velazquez dropped the snap and did his best to recover. He couldn’t.<\/p>\n

As Velazquez set his feet and tried to boot the ball away, the untouched rusher came flying in like a banshee and blocked the kick. Not only that, but he laid the lumber<\/em> on the punter.<\/p>\n

Boise State got punter Joel Velazquez OBLITERATED<\/em>.<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, as he laid on the ground, the Aztecs recovered the kick, scooped it up and ran it back for the touchdown. It was a brutal sequence.<\/p>\n

\n

Roughing the kicker or punter, is illegal. Players cannot make contact with the punter after the ball is in the air. But there is one exception.<\/p>\n

If the defensive player touches the ball before<\/em> making contact with the punter, it’s fair game. That is certainly what went down on Friday night, and as a result, Velazquez got smacked.<\/p>\n

\n

Although the punt went about as poorly as it could, it wasn’t entirely Velazquez’s fault. He never should have been put in that position. His line completely failed him.<\/p>\n

Sure, Velazquez bobbled the snap and couldn’t get a clean punt\u2014 and he will get chewed out during the movie session\u2014 but can you blame him? I wouldn’t be able to focus on getting the punt off as a free rusher came at me full-speed without so much as a finger being put on him.<\/p>\n

If that wasn’t bad enough, he’s going to be reminded of that moment when he wakes up sore on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
