Travis Bell = Mr. Clutch

[JoeCakeEater]

Missed field goal that would have tied the game drops team moral for just long enough to turn into a 10 point swing. A kicker only gets about 25 times per year to showcase their talent and we have two loses that can be put at least partially on his shoulders.

Special Teams Not Cutting It

T. Bell missed a potential game tying field goal...KO Return being non-existent...KO coverge is worst of all, setting up a field goal after our big TD in the 3rd that cost us the game IMHO

[/ QUOTE ]How we can expect to consistently give the opposition the ball on the 38 while we start on the 15 and expect to win is beyond me. Everyone knows we suck at this, and our incredible "consistency" in this area proves that we don't know how to fix it.

The one time Jordan kicked of today UVA took over at the 17. Next tiem we kicked off, it was not Jordan, but Yahiouai. Boy I may have spelled that right on the first try.

Re: Special Teams Not Cutting It

Do you realize that M.Y. (not even going to try! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugher.gif) only takes a field goal depth before he kicks off? I watched him count three back and two over while the UVA kicker started out 10 yards off the ball. Could this be a reason for our sub-par kickoffs???

Re: Special Teams Not Cutting It

For kickoffs and kickoff coverage to be below par all season long and the problems not corrected is a serious problem. Fighting back to 17-17 deserves better than giving the opponent the ball at the 40 whjere a short drive gives them the lead right back.
