[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 71735, member: 735"] Great write up Nuke. This is the best I have felt preseason about ST in quite some time. Butker by all accounts is improved, and was pretty darn good already last year. May be our best kicker in last 20 (or 40) years or so. Getting Golden back is huge. Was one of the best return men in the nation before he got hurt. He will make big plays. I think our new special teams coach will improve our schemes and play in both returns and coverage. I think we have a slew (some will be incoming frosh like the twins) of talented and athletic guys on the team that he will use to improve our return and cover units. This team has more quality depth at LB, DB, and even AB than I can recall for quite some time. These positions typically fill out ko and ko return units. The above leads me to believe we will be leaders in the conference in FGs, xtra points, ko cover, and in returns. And I mean I believe we will be near the top in each of those categories. Only real question mark I see is in punting the ball. If the punter truly has improved hang time, and hasn't sacrificed much in distance, we will be improved here too and just might be a conf leader in this category too. If punts haven't improved we will probably be about the same; can't say I see much drop off unless our punter goes schizo. I wouldn't mind seeing the twins used as our gunners on punts. Fast. athletic, agressive hitters...could create a bit of apprehension in minds of opposing return guys. Our ST will win us some games this year IMO. And I don't think there is much threat ST will lose any for us. [/QUOTE]
