    Don't expect any changes.

    Is this new formation designed to get better blocking or better coverage down field??

    Don't really need it if you get the punt blocked or only kick a 32 yarder which is what we've been doing.

    I've never stated whether I like it or not but here's what the coach said last night........



    but I know where opponents of the formation will attack him on this one.

    As one of my drill sergents at Ft Knox was so fond of saying,

    "It looks like monkeys trying to **** a football!"

    And thats all I have to say about that.

    What's frustrating about the formation is...there seems to be no method behind the madness.

    It's a tired cliche,' but here goes...if it ain't broke, ...........

    Poor coverage is problem with the net punting drop-off, not the punter or the 1 blocked punt out of 22.

    • Jackson averages 42.2 yards a punt, the best in the SEC.
    • LSU has had only one punt blocked this year. LSU has had punts blocked every year. It's not a problem.
    There is no problem getting the punt off, there is no problem punting long either. The problem is failure to tackle the punt returners.
