It could just be statistical variation as he only attempted 40-ish punts per season and maybe field position dictated he kick them shorter or it could have been at the directive of coaching I.E. keep the hangtime but kick it shorter so we can prevent more returns. It is hard to say, but he does have the leg to kick them deeper. 

See the video - the expert breaking it down discusses why his average dropped.  Two factors - In one game against Maryland, 3 of his 4 punts were into an incredible wind, which brought down his overall average by 1.5 y/g for the entire year.  And since Mich was so good he was punting from 40 to 40 a lot, which considering he never kicked one into the endzone has an effect as well.
