I think it was kinda like a slap in the face--a wake up call. Now, we are the targets. Can't forget that this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no college team will ever be able to practice special teams enough, not with the rigid practice schedule required by the NCAA. Therefore, I've always felt if you can limit the negative plays on special teams in college, that's 90% of the work. Some of it last year for USF was mental- FG kicker- that's on Alvarado; stop the fake conversions- we had most covered but guys didn't make plays.
