Our Special Teams being harped on is laughable, seriously.

8th in Blocked Kicks (3)
2nd in Blocked Kicks allowed (only 1) there's 42 teams with 0 and then we're in the 2nd tier at 1
4th in Blocked Punts (2)
2nd in Blocked Punts allowed (only 1) there's 83 teams with 0 and then we're in the 2nd tier at 1
4th in KR defense allowing 15.57 with 0 TDs given up, 109 KO ret yards against on 7 returns we've had 38 touchbacks
73rd in KR Yards at 20.25 (our only real weak point, 1st is averaging 30.53 a return)
56th in PR defense allowing 6.67 with 0 TDs given up, 60 returns yards on 9 returns we've had 3 touchbacks 38 punts total
4th in PR as a team averaging 20.18 with 3 TDs
12th in FG% 19 - 21 for .905 by Brent
4th in FGs per game with 1.9

If we want to see improvement on special teams it really comes down to kickoff returns & punt return defense/coverage more than anything else. And I think part of that is just us lacking great depth and team speed.

We’ve been a complete non factor on kick returns, not sure why we don’t even try to return them when chandler and Calloway have proven to be capable there in years past and when we do our blocking hasn’t been great. Chandler is Our highest ranked at 138th in avg yards per kickoff return.

We also have a bad habit of letting punts bounce in front of us and then costing us yards on the roll.

Our punters have also sucked this year which idk how much that even has to do with ST coach. Those dudes just do their own thing tbh.

i don’t think we’ve been bad on STs bc we haven’t given up any big plays really but besides the SC punt return, we haven’t made any big plays either in the return game.

Ubben's articles are really good imo, it was his snarky tweets for no reason that had people ready to run him out of town. Me included.

He started out fine on this beat...then he ventured into entertainment. Writers should stick to their strengths.

Kickoff return is 1/5 of the kicking game. Surely you consider that part of the “kicking game”


Our punting has been inconsistent and add the TO this last week it needs to get much better. Top 75 isn’t exactly flattering since there are only 130 teams out there.

I would argue it is not nearly 1/5. Of all of the other 4 areas, it is the least important. With the new rules regarding safety, it has gone way down the list in importance.

Just watched a clip from Booger McFarland on SVP show where he pulls out a cigar. He said “every year it’s a tradition where winner lights up a cigar in Alabama Tennessee game. Alabama has been beating up on Tennessee and we all see them with the cigars. I don’t know if they can beat up Tennessee anymore. So for all my Tennessee friends this is for you. We whipped that butt for you.”

Went back and watched again “I don’t know if they will be able to beat Tennessee anytime soon”

Wow...Clemson isn't original at anything are they?

Trey makes the comment and it basically becomes viral, then TN Football drops a video on the 9th and now just 3 days later Clemson nearly ripped off the TN video frame by frame...
