Penn State’s day has been lukewarm so far.
The team has a comfortable 33-14 lead over Central Michigan early in the fourth quarter but has looked shaky at times and is in danger of not covering the 27.5-point spread.
But a big bright spot has been punter Barney Amor.
Amor has punted four times for 178 yards and a 44.5 average.
Two of Amor’s punts set up Central Michigan inside its 10, and one of them ended up being muffed at its 7-yard line, setting up a Penn State touchdown.
Penn State’s performance has been polarizing, but Amor’s hasn’t been.
Here’s what Twitter’s had to say about it.

Penn State's punting really hasn't skipped a beat since Jordan Stout's departure. Barney Amor has been fantastic
