Funny! I was thinking the math says don't go for 2 yet but our kicking game says do it.

 

[cuse309]

Our chances of winning just went from 2% to 0%.

my bac went from 0% to 2%

 

[SUforme]

What defense? What special teams?

 

[bcubs9497]

turned out to be very brief.

True. But, on the whole, it's getting better.

Never understood why a punter there...No options after a mistake

Because they are used to catching snaps. but sometimes a backup QB is used.

 

[Scooch]

SU now leads in TOP and plays. Offense has 5 TDs.

 

[Briancuse]

I have seen better special tea units on a freshman hs football team, this is an embarrassment

 

[OrangeDW]

What has happened to our kicking game? Terrible. That's a 7 point swing just on missed/botched/blocked kicks.

 

[Chip]

Basic kicks have turned a 10 point game into a 17 point game.

Let's Go Mids!

This is one of worst special teams ive seen. Its been theyve gained 9 points and we left 5 points. Estime is our only good special teams player

STs is a direct reflection of player quality.

The lack of quality ST play is a commentary on our talent level.

 

[cuse309]

This is soooo much worse than the Louisville loss. ND isn't a great team.

 

[SUforme]

I love you Orange but I have to change the channel. I will be back next week for another beating in some way!

 

[Scooch]

Down 50-33 with 6 to play. We gotta go full court press!

It would be 36-33 without our special teams mistakes. You have to figure ND would have say a 60% chance of scoring a TD on that drive they ran the kickoff back on, but it still changes the entire complexion of the game.

Actually, their players are pretty good. Their coaching sucks, though.

Good point.

Is Dauber available to coach special teams?

Maybe, but bad HS teams can kick XPs and 30 yard FGs.

Turning point in game was the missed FG by Murphy before the half.

I say Phillips drop on the first second half drive was bigger. We score there and we've got the lead and all the momentum.

Nah. The game turned when we couldn't do anything coming out of halftime and then ND scored on us, again.

They'll also falter when their opponent is that much more talented.

Heard he's reading the offer as we speak.
