You wouldn't expect a punter to be responsible for downing his own punt during any football game, but that's exactly the position Iowa Hawkeyes punter Connor Kornbrath found himself in during Saturday's game against Northern Iowa.
It happened in the third quarter with the ball on the Iowa 49-yard line. Kornbrath's punt traveled 25 yards in the air, but the Iowa punt team overran the ball as it took a ridiculously bad bounce backwards. As a result, Kornbrath had to down the ball himself at the Northern Iowa 40-yard line, which goes down as an 11-yard punt.
Looks like Iowa's punt team could use a little extra practice this week.
