Special Teams Research: Akron

BG had its best game of the season in all three phases against Akron, and that includes special teams, which have struggled much.  Scottie Miller came up with a blocked punt and a 77-yard ko return (immediately before which I was screaming at him to down it) and BG picked up a turnover on a sky kick by Nate Fields.  It was a good game where the special teams contributed to BG's chances to win, particularly early in the game.

BG finished +6 for the game.  AK had -5.
