Watch: UCLA's punter gets crushed on blocked punt

By Adam Gretz  |  Last updated Sep 3, 2022 3:26 PM ET

In most cases when a punter ends up making a football highlight it is because something went terribly wrong for the punter. 

That was the case for UCLA's Nicholas Barr-Mira on Saturday when his first punt of the season was blocked and returned for a Bowling Green Touchdown.

Trouble is, not only was the punt blocked and returned for a touchdown, but he also got absolutely trucked in the process by the Falcons' Pasean Wimberly. 

Along with the blocked punt, UCLA also muffed a punt return of its own in the first quarter to continue the special teams issues.

Not exactly the start anybody is looking for there.
