Lets examine our special teams this year.

Well to start with we hired a "special teams coach" and his name is Joey Jones who was the HC at South Alabama, who by the way beat MSU/Mullen. This is the 1st special teams coach we've hired just to be in charge of special teams. I can't say we are getting our monies worth with our punter at the moment. One would think we could go get a juco punter that would be better than the 2 we have now. I hope we are already lining a punter and kicker up for next year. Cover teams are hard to evaluate due to the new fair catch rule on kick offs.

I don’t know about our Kicking teams, but our Offense is pretty “Special”. Like Short Bus Special(pardon the lack of PC in my assessment of our offense).

Following our 34 yd/kick average that we posted on Saturday night, Day and Schexnayder are now #151 and #169 in the country respectively. Akron, Kent State, Old Dominion, and Ball State are just a handful of the hundred teams with better punting than what we're currently displaying.

All of this has been somewhat overshadowed all season by our abysmal offense in general, but our punting has been atrocious.

Kickoff Team is good... they just don’t get on field much.

We call fair catches on most punts we receive, and I guess we actually catch most of them. Would love to see them try to return more. Tried to block one punt last night, and we almost got it. I'd like to see us go after more, especially against teams like Alabama. Gotta make your breaks sometimes.

Everything sucks minus the defense.
