Finally, a good thread . . .
STC Randall McCray is new to Special Teams after spending last year as the DC at Middle Tennessee. Their special teams does not reflects this.

Their longest punt return was 22 yards but surprisingly have another for 10 yards (blocked punt) which was returned for a touchdown. Kick returns are more of an issue. Buddy Jackson ran one back 98 yards for a touchdown and is averaging 23 yards on the return. 3 other guys have a return of 30+.

Kicker Kevin Harper is averaging 67% accuracy with 1 50+ FG and hitting 60% in the 40-49 yard range.
Punter Matt Yoklic is averaging 40 yards per punt with a long of 58.

They're not giving up much either. No field goals have been blocked, and no opponent has returned a punt or kick for a touchdown, averaging returns of 13.5 and 18.3 yards, respectively, with longs of 45 and 73.

valid concern. They're good but by no means a force to be reckoned with.

Don't care. We have a football game to prepare for. Not interested in engaging a bunch of women in a football discussion.

I like the direction, but venting will continue for 24 hours until boredom, followed by acceptance and then football.
