Having Potter as a field goal blocker won us a game, and when you have only 85 scholarships available, you better believe that you get those guys out there as fast as possible. Notice how we went from having one of the worst special teams units in the country to one of the best? Maybe, just maybe that has something to do with the fact that our best athletes, regardless of how old they are, are playing on special teams, and dont tell me that special teams is a waste, because It has saved us ALOT of points this year, and even scored us some. We have a near punt return for a touchdown, a punt block for a near touchdown, three blocked field goals, and have good averages as far as punt and kick returns, which translates to good field position and more points. Special teams has probably made a net difference of somewhere in the neighborhood of 37 points this year if you figure those two touchdowns, the three blocked field goals, and another two touchdowns or so generated from field position, or lack there of due to Sam Koch's punting and a very good coverage unit, and I believe that number is conservative. I dont know about you, but to me it is worth the 37 points, or more, to have those guys out there.
