Counting the Special Team’s Epic Fails


Recommended Posts

NU special teams can claim the following:

 

- Fielded a punt for a Safety (Illinois).

- Blocked PAT for a safety (OU)

- Punt return for a TD (MSU)

- Kick off return for a TD (Wisconsin)

- Blocked punt for a TD (Iowa)

 

Is there any other team in organized football that can match that list?

 

That does not even include all of the missed PATs and gimmee FGs.  The safety today could also be attributed to catching a punt at the 5.

Shanked punts aren't quite as epic as a player fielding a punt at his own goal line and trying to throw a forward pass out of the end zone on it.

Shanked punts and awful decisions to field or not field punts are a whole other column in the ‘Fail’ column.  Hidden yards….also simply awful.

Special teams are typically an indicator of how well the team is coached
