The Tigers were seriously lacking on offense last week. Most of their drives ended in turnovers (6 fumbles, 1 interception, 2 turnovers on downs). They were fortunate to be able to punt— when they did punt, the kicks were beauties. Rasmus Haines punted 4 times, averaging 42.5 yards per kick. His long on the night was a 55-yarder; he also had a 44-yard punt from the middle of his own end zone. For one of Haines’ best punting performances in his young career, he is this week’s special teams spotlight player.
