Kicking game was atrocious. The coaching staff is going to have to find someway of reducing punts and kickoffs...
I think what was meant was improving on punts and kick offs. We must get touchbacks or atleast keep the opposing team from starting with such good field position. With wing out, punts have been a little short. We need the wingman back. Our returns have not been up to lsu standards. Peorid. We went from holliday to Peterson. Both ran kicks back well. We must step it up in this department. If not for Peterson 's stellar returns last year there isn't any way we win some of those games. We need some longer returns. When we play the best the sec has to offer, field position is key. You must have good fp and deny the opponet good fp.
Oh, so you want to kickoff alot AND win the game....well they do have a few extra days of practice to work on it. :yelwink2:
With the defense we have, teams will have hell marching down the long field. That's why we have got to get our kicking game to get touchbacks. Some kickoff last night landed short of the ten yardline.
VERY GOOD. Versus MSU ratio of 4 SOLO to 1 ASSISTED tackles. It's hard to compete with that. :geauxtige
GOOD 1. Against a formidable SEC foe on the road in a hostile environment, Lee passed with flying colors 2. The defense just dominated another very talented spread offense for the 2nd time in 3 games 3. Our receivers are getting into the groove and improving each week, Randle has taken the reigns of the group 4. Alleman is Colt David reincarnated, so nice not to worry about a FG being made 5. No turnovers except for 1 interception that was essentially a DJ Howard punt BAD 1. Game plan was way too conservative for over 3 quarters of play, the only thing keeping MSU in the game 2. Our backup punter is barely serviceable 3. We cannot kick inside the 10, much less the 5 UGLY 1. Penalties, one cost us giving up a FG, a couple of others stopped drives before they could get started
