Spring Depth Chart Review--Special Teams

I almost forgot to do this part of the review. Special teams are very important, and ours were very poor last year. Punting was bad, kicking was bad--made it much harder to win. Having said that, the Spring game will be better....

because there's a good chance we won't kick at all. Next Fall, we expect both our kicker and our punter to be true freshmen, so they won't be in the Spring game. We may not kick at all!

Seriously, some coaching moves were made here over the Winter, and its important. Failure to execute on punting and FGs (not to mention extra points), make it difficult to execute. This will be especially true in a season where we do not expect to be able to just hang 50 points up whenever we feel like it.
