[QUOTE="Limp Lizard, post: 3170965, member: 18"] I know griping about fake punts being successful against us has been a big deal for years, but I only remember two: Fake punt by Boise in the Fiesta which was a huge factor in our loss: fake punt by Wisky in Rose Bowl which led to a late first half field goal. There were others for sure, but not all that many. Muffed punts probably have hurt us more...we have been feast or famine on finding returners who were sure handed. My favorite complaint is roughing the passer which it seems nearly always leads to a score for the punting team. Since we joined the B12 our national rankings in the kicking game have been all over the place. Never consistently bad but (sigh) never consistently good, either. We were good in defending punt returns in 2014 and 2015 (#1 and #5) but also #99 in 2013. Overall, for 2012-2021: Kickoff return TD's: 6; Opponents KO TD's: 1 Punt return TD's: 12; Opponents PR TD's: 2 Could have been better but could have been worse. To me the biggest coaching blunder was the two #1's. Hopefully nothing like that will happen again. I think the Special Teams Coach is a good thing, but things were never as bad as some here think.
