Special teams emphasis
Fresno State has cornered the market on good special teams play under Pat Hill. Since he took over as coach in 1997, the Bulldogs have scored 32 touchdowns on special teams. And since 2002, Fresno State has the most blocked kicks - 40 - in college football. This will pose quite a challenge for the Bruins, who have struggled to make tackles on special teams. A.J. Jefferson has returned nine kicks for 287 yards - a 31.9 yards per return average (including one for 73 yards).
No problem. We have a 'dedicated' special teams coach. One of the few Pac 10 schools to have such a luxury.
yea right, and our dedicated SP coach has really shown his worth so far this season. If we are dumb enough to kick it to him, I say he takes it in for at least one score, possibly two.
No rule against punting out of bounds.
