Armed Forces Bowl Game & Specials Teams Play

[wrapit]

1. Wow, what a great kickoff return game with Tulu! Would be great to integrate him into the punt return game as well next season. Armed Forces Bowl Game MVP!
2. What happened to punter Day on his last punt? Kicking foot hit ground on leg swing, causing poor punt. How bad is his injury. Real weird play. Any updates?
3. What was wrong with Kicker Ruiz. Didn't see him warming up nor in first half of game, but did see him come out for 2nd half, dressed in pads, but did not play. Any idea?

Rosebowl all but called it on his podcast

Mentioning that Tulsa had only 3 kickoffs for touchbacks the entire season

Tulu has game changing speed. We just had to figure out how to get him the ball in space.

In my opinion one of the biggest gaps between SEC teams and lesser conference teams shows up on special teams. If you think back on the majority of our punt or kick return TD’s in the last 10-15 years, almost all of them were in non conference games. That’s just where depth and talent differences can show up the most.

Tulu seems like he could have potential to be our best return guy since Pegues. Curious to see if he gets a chance to return punts next year. Williams is sure handed and that’s much appreciated but he’s basically just back there to take a fair catch and make sure we don’t fumble.

The only thing injured regarding Day is his pride. He chunked it with his right foot but when he was coming off the field he was limping on his left foot. I think he forgot which one was supposed to be hurt. He just was embarrassed and I get it.

Exactly right. His pride is all that was hurt.

The announcers said that Ruiz was ill. I guess not with Covid since he was with the team.
