Well ... It's Something

Pitt's season hasn't gone as planned so far, but at least the team is excelling in one area:

Punting.

Pitt is ranked No. 1 in the NCAA in net yards for punting this season, averaging more than 45 yards per punt. You've got to give it to kicker Dan Hutchins who doubles as the team's punter. Hutchins is also a decent kicker and could have an outside shot at getting to the NFL since he's able to both kick and punt. If he hopes to make it as a kicker, he'll definitely have to improve his leg strength a little. His career long is only a 45-yarder.

It may be a bitter pill to swallow, but at least something is going right for the team.
