Ole Miss punter Will Gleeson is 6-foot-3 and 197 pounds. That’s sizable for a college specialist.

But, in the first quarter of Saturday’s game in the Liberty Bowl, Memphis made Gleeson look more like a rag doll.

Gleeson took several steps to his left in a rugby-style run-up to his punt, and then a few different Memphis players undercut him as his kicking leg finished its arch.

The result: Gleeson took to the air and then got a face full of grass. At least the Rebels got to enjoy a 15-yard roughing the punter penalty out of Gleeson’s ordeal.

To no one’s surprise, Twitter enjoyed the replay.
