Mason Fletcher, Ryan Coe Earn Weekly AAC Honors

The special teams duo was crucial in Cincinnati's record-tying 19th straight win over a conference opponent.

CINCINNATI — Special teams played a huge role in UC's 29-27 win over SMU this past weekend. Punter Mason Fletcher and kicker Ryan Coe got recognized for their big days.

The UC punter is the AAC Special Teams Player of the Week after booting all three punts over 50 yards, including an AAC and UC record 84-yard boot in the first half. Mike Connell set the previous UC record in 1976 (78 yards).

It's the second time this season he's won the award.
