They got progressively shorter as the game went on. Yea, we talked about that almost every game.Connor Barth was cut by the Bucs because he couldn't reach the endzone. When he came back he said that ko's were a different technique than fg's. I wonder if coach Woodie could find out what that difference is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem complicated, academically speaking. Could I do it though? Not a chance.Here's to hoping the staff can find someone who can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they kick it short and to the left to try to smother the return man. if he just average is 15 yard return they're starting at the 30 yard line. It's really not a coaching problem it's a kicker problem. I give the coach credit for coming up with a scheme to get them the best chance to limit long returns .

I'm also interested in the opponents starting yard line after kickoffs and how does that compare to the rest of the FBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should USF target any of them? Why? Of course this also means that some of our coaches will also be targeted, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average field position lost, about 5-6 yards for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
