But with the blocked kicks and blocked punts its something that is a real issue that needs to be fixed asap. It will cost us a game at some point. You only get 2 points for a blocked extra point that's returned all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can blame the coach for having poor protection on every god damned kick we've taken all year. Its a mess. Especially when you consider how good we have been over the last few years. Its never been an issue aside from one extra point at Temple last season. Protection has been horrible and it makes our punts and kick units seem terrible. Definitely needs to be adjusted or it will cost us big time against a decent team. Kept Illini in the game in the 1st half, no doubt. That should have been like 33-7 at half.

Good teams beat you when you give up splash plays on special teams. Execution doesn't just happen it's a result of coaching and yanking kids out of the unit when they fail to execute. FG protection isn't hard and doesn't take you being a great athlete to do it. We have 8 guys who can block while THE LS, holder, and kicker do their job, it's Burkes job to find them. Also nadleman's approach looked a bit slow on the blocked PAT, the commentators even commented on it. Again that's coaching, his approach should be timed during the kicking section of our special teams periods at practice. Special teams is is almost all attention to detail and discipline that's a result of coaching. Edited September 16, 2017 by Bull Dozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how it was worded in the quoted article. Probably means that 2 extra points were returned to the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different special teams coaches but the head coach is the same. I wonder what kind of emphasis CCS puts on special teams in practice. This has to get fixed and NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
