Earlier we showed a punter making a great pass, and now we have a punter excelling at their traditional craft.
San Diego State punter Matt Araiza blasted an 86-yard punt against the San Jose State Spartans on Friday night. The Aztecs — ranked No. 24 in the country — had 4th-and-7 at their own 11 in the third quarter, when Araiza sent a punt to the San Jose three-yard line.

That’s an incredible punt!
And that’s as exciting as anything that’s happened in regulation. It’s a 6-6 game going into overtime.
