A blocked punt and a lot of kicking by Butker. Never saw Rodwell. We dominated so ST weren’t a big factor, but a blocked extra point could be massive in close games. Overall a B+, would have been A if KOs & return coverage had been better.
Can’t say enough about blocking EPs and FGs. We are tied for 2nd in the nation for kicks/punts blocked with 5 this year. SPEED KILLS. http://www.cfbstats.com/2014/leader/national/team/offense/split01/category24/sort01.html
Butker losing some distance as the game go on, now only 11th in KO distance and 12th in TB% and you can see how it goes down by game. May be the cooler weather too…….. http://www.cfbstats.com/2014/team/255/kickoff/offense/gamelog.html Also our coverage isn’t always great. Given the potential for games to be turned around by big returns, I just want TB every time even though the average starting position is between 23 and 24.
Golden tried to return more rather than fair catching; he had two punt returns for zero yards. I think in previous games he would have fair caught those. Good way to put pressure on the opponent ST return team.
