Minnesota has allowed only 11 punt return yards all season
Jacob Herbers is in his first season of punting for the Gophers and has been doing a fabulous job. Herbers, who is als one of the most elite holders in the nation, has punted 28 times and is averaging 41.68 yards per punt (would tie him for 10th best season in school history) and has five punts greater than 50 yards.
Herbers – and Minnesota's punt return coverage – has excelled in not giving up many yards to the opposition. Fifteen of Herbers' punt have been fair caught and he has placed another 10 inside the 20-yard line.
Minnesota has allowed only 11 total punt return yards this season, which is the fewest in the Big Ten and is the tenth fewest amount in the nation. On the flipside, the Gophers lead the nation with an average of 28.67 yards per punt return.
