Punting up for grabs

Indiana coach Bill Lynch did not name a starting punter for Saturday’s game with Wisconsin.

Chris Hagerup has started every game at punter. He is averaging 39.2 yards per punt this season.

Adam Pines had three punts for an average of 38.7 yards against the Hawkeyes.

“They are going to compete during the week and really Adam did a nice job in his first time (against Iowa),” Lynch said. They have been competing over the last couple of weeks in practice and had equal reps with ones and twos especially with (long snapper Jeff) Sanders.

“That is the biggest thing for a punter or place-kicker, to work with the number one long snapper to make sure you have the right get-off speed. They will compete and it could be that they both punt. We’re not afraid for either one to punt right now after Adam went out and did it in a game situation.”
