Back in the day - we were great at special teams. Va Tech great. We always had good kickers. We blocked a punt or 2. We had good punt returners.

Now? Er, ummkay.

There is no reason (other than penalty) to 'return' a kickoff and get tackled on the 11 yard line.

Awful special teams today. I still can't believe we caught a punt on the two yard line, basic fundamentals of football stuff we can't get right.

I yearn for the days of Quintin Spotwood, Olindo Mare, and Pat O'Neil.
I am sure Norton is a good kid but unless we have injuries at kicker I don't want to see him kick another FG. Every kicker at Power 5 conference school short of getting the kick blocked should never miss a 25 yard field goal in a Dome.

Shafer made a mistake not recruiting another Kicker for this year with krautman's uncertainty.
