Special Teams

[HFCS]

How badly were our two field goals missed? Could not tell from my seats.

I was watching the wind pattern during the game to see how the bowled in south end zone impacted things. Flags at the top of the stadium were showing a south wind direction while the small flags atop the south goal posts were showing a slight wind from the north. Swirling?

The second one you could tell on TV was just barely bad. I wasn't positive it was bad until the officials called it. He hit it long and straight and it was just barely right the entire way.

The UNI punter was putting up punts with like less than 2 seconds of hang time.

 

[Wesley]

He was hitting line drive punts all night and giving his coverage zero chance. It was only a matter of time before ISU took one to the house.

UNI needed to kick more rugby type punts to eat time. Line drives were easy pickings for Allen.

One right, one left, one down the middle.

Allen Lazard was absolutely fantastic. He did a great job of setting up his blocks. Extremly smart and talented player.

That is pretty shocking, hopefully it means we're at least above average and UNI isn't just that bad punting. It's not like the rest of the Big 12 only played awesome teams.
