UA’s race at punter not over, Reichard and DeLong to punt versus Duke

It is one of few areas on Alabama’s depth chart that has a slash on it.

The slash (/) means the competition is still going and at punter, Nick Saban has not made a decision on either Skyler DeLong or Will Reichard. Both guys have been competing for the starting job all offseason and per Saban, it was Reichard that pushed everyone to improve.

Despite his struggles last season and getting benched for Mike Bernier, DeLong appeared to have made strides on A-Day. The sophomore averaged 47.5 yards per attempt; however, the level of consistency went back down at the open practice.
