@TXCyclones got real quiet once he realized nobody agrees with him. Typical.
I clocked it...

And now you're just being a douche about it
All three first half kickoffs were for touchbacks.
The first kickoff of the second half was to the goal line and returned to the 23. The one after that was kicked to the two and we won't speak anymore about it. The next kickoff was a touchback, then the last kickoff was an onside kick.
4 of 6 were touchbacks, including the last kick of the game. It almost seemed to me that it was an intentional decision to kick those other 2 higher instead of 8 yards deep in the endzone. If that's the case, it needs to never happen again.
you know, the more I hear about these special teams they're starting to sound like a real jerk!According to FEI, we are 129th overall in special teams and field position (FBS/FBS games only).

You're tiresome and ignorant. Marginally stupid as well. Let's grab a beer sometime. We'll get along well.
That happens when you return a kickoff for TD and boot the punts that they do.
TX I hear you in not throwing attacks/character assassinations at players. Do you think objectively discussing what is/isn't working and mentioning individuals by name (not talking about Twitter @'ing them) is out of bounds as a loyal fan?
Everyone knows our special teams has been "special".
But I'm not a fan of calling out specific players by name on a message board behind a screen name. Anyone who is a "cyclonefanatic" can easily see who isn't performing to the level needed.
Yes and No. They're number 1 because of Trestan Ebner who's now returned 3 kicks for TD.
I was curious about why Noel was so out of position on his punt returns. The reason was going into last weekend's game, the baylor puter was averaging 35 yard kicks. Against us he averaged 55 yards.
Yes - we don't need exceptional special teams, just competent special teams. We have the tools on offense and defense that we can beat most teams we play as long as special teams keeps up. But they way it is right now, its like we're running a race and giving everyone else a 20% head start.
Thats the exact point I'm getting at. There has to be some reason they aren't putting Shook in there. I would rather have his punts vs Dunns any day. But there has to be something with Shook that the coaches don't like, otherwise it just doesn't make sense as to why he isn't getting more reps or chances.
Obviously the coaches are well aware of how crappy the special teams have been. The question is really what to do about it mid-stream. If a better punter is available you would hope they’d be trying them by now.
Anyone have any idea how good Tyler Perkins, our punter recruit, is? I've heard he's like #1 or #2 in the country, but how good is he actually?
