AUGUSTA, Ga. – Special teams. It's an area that is often overlooked, but always plays a big part in winning football games every fall.
With Nick Pritchard as part of that unit, the University of Delaware football program feels pretty good about their chances.

Of his 58 punts, 17 of them went for 50 or more yards, while 16 were downed inside the 20.
With an average of 41.3 over the past two years, Pritchard enters his senior season ranked second all-time in Delaware history in career punt average, behind only Eric Enderson (43.6).
