Here is a good breakdown of the special team mistakes and how they could be corrected.

What's not mentioned in the article, for obvious reasons, is that all four blocks occurred in the first quarter of each game .... with no repeats in the final three quarters. Apparently some sort of in-game adjustments were made. Still kind of a problem but maybe not as dire a one to warrant a lengthy "expert" breakdown article, with pics and everything.

OL needs to protect better on the extra points and FGs.  No excuses.  Those are big points that we need every week.

I disagree, special teams have been godawful so far this season, the worst I've seen from USF.

That's because we had a lot more practice punting and rarely had to kick extra points.

Correct. I believe he also did that at KSU before coming to USF (along with being co-defensive cord).

Makes you realize how talented the guy is. He can lock down 2 of the 3 phases and all he needed was someone to run the O.
