Tyler Bennett’s leg was a hidden weapon for Utah State
In the 2012 season, Utah State punter Tyler Bennett was more than a field-flipper: he averaged 41.9 yards per punt, pinned 33 kicks inside the 20, and had a long of 59 yards[3]. He had already shown a stronger peak in 2011, averaging 43.8 yards with 21 inside the 20 and earning weekly special-teams recognition, which tells you he could swing field position when timing and placement were on[2][7][15]. The appeal here is the blend of distance, accuracy, and proven high-end game impact—exactly the kind of specialist a coach loves when hidden yards matter.
