Special Teams

I'm really excited about Harvin, and King, do they both start against Ut? Thoughts?

 

[tatertot1]

I think they do,I'd put them out there no question

 

[stech81]

It will be hit and miss this year. I have no idea if they we start this year. I kind of hope it doesn't matter cause we will score a TD every time.

I would definitely assume Harvin will be the punter, and I would say king has a very good chance of being the kicker by game one. I'm more confident in Harvin though.

Harvin is gonna be a beast, if that's possible as a punter?

Imagine trying to tackle him on a fake?

Depends on how they do in camp ..... I'm excited about them but have learned that college ball is different than HS. More so for O and D players but also for kickers. So I'll just wait and am hopeful for a big improvement in punting and just hope place kicking is close to as good.

Harvin is likely the punter but there was a good showing by the place kicker in the Spring Game so I suspect competition in Fall Camp is on for King. One may kick off and the other could kick the short to medium field goals. As you say time will tell us more in the Fall.

Butker has set the bar really high for his successor(s). 'Fraid we are going to miss him.

Think about the games Butker won for us. VT and UGA. Plus that long FG that put the 2014 UGA game in OT.

I hope we don't find out who the starting punter is until we get into the meat of our schedule.

THIS. I hope the punter spends most of this season bored and on the bench.

I do think we will miss Butker. Before him, kickoffs were way too exciting in a bad way. And it was SO nice to just watch the ball sail through the end zone.

I think we have much better depth than we used to have and therefore better athletes on special teams.

I agree, our kickoff coverage team could be nasty...

Kicking is hit or miss in College. Ask Bobby Bowden.

Butker was only our scoring leader? Or was it just all time for place kickers?

No. All time for anyone. Place kickers have an upper hand on that.
