[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 88403, member: 322"] Our ST play pointed out how divergent STs are. Golden was fabulous on KO returns. We are tied for 10th in KO returns at 26 yards. Golden is tied for 6th best in the country at 31 yards. [url]http://www.cfbstats.com/2014/leader/national/player/split01/category05/sort01.html[/url] Butker had 4 touch backs and two good on side kick attempts. Rodwell punted well as usual in his ONE attempt – punted to the 8 and there was a 10 yard return. When you only punt once in a game, you are either scoring a lot or screwing up a lot….. that’s another thread. But what we will all remember is the 4th down unforced off sides by the punt coverage team that gave Duke a fresh set of downs. That was a turnover. We were up 3-0 and had stopped Duke for the second straight time. You just can’t do that to our weak D and expect good things. And bad things did happen. I think if we get the ball and go up two scores, it is a whole different game. As it is, that one play epitomized the sloppy play overall in the game – the O was the sloppiest and the D didn’t get any turnovers..... that's another thread. Butker needs to be replaced for long FGs and short ones on the right hash if we have anyone who can kick. Since we probably don’t, go for it or punt. Butker made the easy ones (<30 yards) which were centered or on left hash. But the long one (52 yard) he missed had plenty of leg, was straight (no wind effect) and found it’s home where his other misses have been -- just to the right. He has the physical talent but not the _________ (discipline?). As is, his KO talent makes him more than worth the scholarship IMHO. It’s “only” a head thing so he can get better on FGs, but we need him to contribute more in this area ASAP. Overall, it’s hard to grade. Don’t have that punt screw up and missed FG and it’s another strong A performance. But add a thimbleful of **** to a barrel of wine and you have a barrel full of ****. Overall D (IMHO) Past game ST records at: Miami [url]http://gtswarm.com/threads/gt-special-teams-versus-miami.4212/[/url] VT [url]http://gtswarm.com/threads/st-v-vt.3877/#post-81068[/url] GSU [url]http://gtswarm.com/threads/st-in-ga-southern-game.3760/[/url] Tulane [url]http://gtswarm.com/threads/tulane-game-sts.3655/[/url] [/QUOTE]
