Sweet VIctory #2: Special Teams

There were no big plays like we had against Tulsa, but the special teams--when called upon--put together a very solid effort.

Anthony Farinella had a very good day on kickoffs.  He forced two touchbacks on eight attempts.  The coverage was good as well.  The Flashes averaged starting at their 25 and their longest return was 24 yards.

Tyler Tate--who looks like a Bolivian revolutionary--made 2 FGs, including a 41 yarder.

Brian Schemiedebusch only had to punt 3 times.  He parked one inside the 20 and he shanked one.

Ryan Burbrink was solid on punt returns, though he did give everyone a heart attack with an over the shoulder grab in traffic.

We'll have more when the ICSTR meets, but it was a solid performance for the special teams, which continue to be a key part of the Falcon effort.
