Mason King’s punting skills haven’t been needed much this season but the University of Louisville kicker earned his scholarship in the game against Clemson.
The Louisville offense was struggling early on, failing to score in the first quarter for the first time this season. Between three false starts and four incomplete passes, the Cardinals unable to mount a serious threat in the first 15 minutes.
King, meanwhile, was keeping the Clemson offense at bay, with three punts averaging 50.6 yards per kick. His longest kick — a 60 yarder — completely reversed the field, moving the football from UofL’s 19 yard line to the Clemson 21.
