Got a great in-depth write up on Pressely in the Athletic:
‘Absolute unit’: Why everyone is talking about Georgia Tech punter Pressley Harvin III
https://theathletic.com/2075201/202...gia-tech-football/?source=user_shared_article
Excerpt of the story for me:
The Yellow Jackets clung to a 16-13 lead with a little more than two minutes remaining Saturday when Harvin punted a ball out of bounds at the Florida State 21-yard line. He hated the 37-yard kick. The moment it came off his foot, he knew he wanted a mulligan. He saw the flag on the field and knew an illegal formation penalty was going against the Yellow Jackets, but he figured Seminoles coaches would do the math in their heads and realize that a punter who averaged 44.8 yards a kick last season probably would negate the penalty yardage and then some if he progressed back toward his mean. So Harvin was as shocked as anyone when Florida State coach Mike Norvell accepted the penalty. “For some odd reason — I don’t know why — they let me kick it again,” Harvin said.
