UCLA special teams break down in loss to USC
USC receiver Michael Pittman Jr. returns a punt 72 yards for a touchdown during the first quarter of a game against UCLA at the Coliseum. (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times)Stefan Flintoft took the snap and aimed his body toward the right side of the field. He punted the ball to the right and looked to the right.
Nearly every one of his UCLA teammates went left.
Flintoft appeared to realize what would happen next after jogging several yards downfield early in the first quarter Saturday at the Coliseum. He momentarily held out his arms in disbelief as USC’s Michael Pittman Jr. fielded the punt with only Flintoft and UCLA’s Josh Wariboko-Alali standing between Pittman and the end zone.
