    Special Teams again

    Come on Skippy...The first 3 and out all day and you decide to block the punt...why not set up for a punt return and let Driskell get to work. Our special teams is terrible, the worst I have seen since 1994. it not the players, it coaching..., bad coaching.

    Kick coverage is terrible. Terrible!!

    I don't know that we've returned a kick past the 35 all year. Dancy consistently makes bad decisions but he starts every game. Maybe there's nobody better.

    Punting has flashes of good followed by crap.

    Kicking game is much better today.

    Name the players on Tech's roster that would start at MS State or any other SEC school.

    Pretty sure we have taken 3 (maybe 4) kick offs received out past the 25 since WKU.

    One good punt today when it counted. The other one was when the game was over.

    Kicking game good today? We allowed one to be run back for a TD. Yes, it was called back, but the hold call was behind the returner. Not a good call...just lucky for us.

    Yes, and especially when inside the 10.

    At worst, we would have had the ball at mid field, with a 1st and 10, and trailing only 31-20. The roughing the punter call against Tech essentially ended the game.

    I don't have to. Fully one third of all NFL players are from non-P5 schools, and we have our share.

    If what you say is true, then there would never be a Tech player in the NFL And every starter for an SEC team would be able to find a roster spot on one of 32 NFL teams.

    Also, if what you intimate is true, then there would never be any pro scouts attending our games.

    Actually it was a good call. It doesn't matter where the hold occurred, its still a penalty even if it's far away from the ball.

    Okay. Our kickoff team is doing a great job.

    Flags should never be thrown behind the runner unless it is a personal foul.
