In the first quarter of yesterday's Big Ten football matchup between Wisconsin and Minnesota, Minnesota punter Dan Orseske kicked the ball in the air for what would have been a 19-yard punt, had it been caught at the spot where it hit the ground.
Unfortunately, the ball rolled backwards...for 15 yards. The end result was Orseske being given credit for a 4-yard punt.
At least the punt did get positive yardage. Earlier this season, Oregon State punter Johnny Hekker managed to kick a negative 4-yard punt. So, it could have been worse. Unfortunately for Minnesota, however, it was that kind of day as Wisconsin pounded them 42-13.
