I predict special teams will be a great deal better next year. They're making it a point of emphasis and we will have more scholarship players to put out there.
If we could turn it from a weakness to a strength then we would be really dangerous. I think that's possible with a focused effort from the coaches and the additional depth coming in.

You could not be more correct,and just look at punting!!! we have a guy that has a great leg and we are last. Can anyone guess why? Lots of games are lost on special teams.YesAppCan wrote:For ANY dream scenario to occur, App HAS to FIX special teams. Take a gander at the link below to Sun Belt stats for year...

Re: Dream Scenario for 2015
When all the shirts come off we're going to be deep in some spots. Not enough time to go around for some. Everybody knows you need blockers (offense) on receive teams and tacklers (defense) on cover teams. Combine those two and three deep guys with some dedicated special teams young guns looking to play their way into the two deep and we should have much better units hitting the field next season. That's only half of it though. Have to spend more than a few minutes at the end of practice on ST. Build those units up and drill the heck out of them. That's how it's done. Even as a starter special teams were fun. Nothing gets you into the game more than decleating someone and helping them to clean out their sinuses.bcoach wrote:You could not be more correct,and just look at punting!!! we have a guy that has a great leg and we are last.

Peach Bowl is a dream scenario that we should shoot for as the G5 Champ.

I don't know, I'm kind of thinking our bowl game will be our bowl game.NoLongerLurking wrote:Clemson is our bowl game.
