[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 479227, member: 857"] Three things really: 1. Special teams have KILLED us this year. See USF, Pitt, and Duke. Giving up big returns, gaffes in our own return game, the missed kicks early in the game. My single biggest gripe about Paul Johnson...consistently horrible ST's. How did so many Tr-Fr get on the coverage team without him noticing? Either not detail-oriented or offensive coordination keeps him too busy. 2. The mental errors you speak of on offense. 3. Breaking in a new defense with lots of young players. I do think for this season there is hope for all three of these. ST's are fair catching kick offs and KO coverage has incrementally improved though still scary. Option offenses tend to gel in the second half of the season and ours looks to be doing that. Defense is starting to generate enough turnovers and negative plays that if the other two phases don't stink up the building we should win. Miffed about the special teams and how they always suck. Our return game is always terrible and our coverage is always a liability. Would be cool to actually harvest hidden yardage for once. Would win us a lot more close games IMO. Is it depth, scheme or both? Why can't we start out the year with at least average ST's like other teams? You are right...we could easily be 6-2 and in the driver's seat for the coastal. Happy we are coming around but frustrated we screwed the pooch so bad early. [/QUOTE]
