Some on the board seem to be hung up on special teams. You seem to forget about the aspects of special teams that we are pretty good at and focus on “we don’t get td’s” so we suck. Well, to be frank, yardage and ESPECIALLY td’s are based on the quality of your opponents for the most part. It is a lucky (yes lucky) play to take one to the house. It generally requires the “other team” to make a few mistakes to aid in the td happening. If you look at the statistics, the better teams and conferences generally have very few special teams returns for td’s. Alabama, Ohio st, Clemson (1 punt, 0 kick returns) had ONE combined the entire year last year....hmmm guess Saban, urban liar 🤥, and Dabo all suck. With all that 5* freakish talent and they couldn’t muster any excluding Clemson’s one punt return. That’s 3 national title teams with a combined 1 freakn return that went to the house for the entire season. ND, on the other hand, did become much more sound last year and I hope it continues. We all would like a few more yards on returns, but it’s just small crumbs compared to making sure the pie is baked right lol.
P.s. you can click on punt td’s & kick return td’s for the info....they are scarce unless your team seems to play weaker competition.
