Re: Special Teams Chaos
Sad, our punter took great pride it seemed in blasted punts into the end zone instead of trying to kick short and get it downed inside the 10. When we need to get field position advantages, our punter did his level best to let TCU off the hook.

true, but he did get his average up to over 40 yds and made up for that initial shank (just don't bother to look at the "net" average)

Re: Special Teams Chaos
Out of curiosity, didn't we successful execute an onside kick against TTU?

Re: Special Teams Chaos
Thank you for drawing attention to that crap Loftus was throwing out there yesterday. Shameful to try to boost your own stats at the expense of the team after your own mistake.ponyte wrote:Sad, our punter took great pride it seemed in blasted punts into the end zone instead of trying to kick short and get it downed inside the 10.

If I was the coach I wouldn't have let him punt again after the first time he obviously blasted one into the end zone.
Hell, let Garrett punt - he did great in the Tech game.

Re: Special Teams Chaos
Was that even supposed to be an onside kick? The SMU players lined up on that side were running down field like they would for a regular kickoff. A real cluster ____. Great communication. 

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

JJ promoting unqualified GAs instead of real coaches helps to prove that he has totally checked out.
