I can't believe special teams graded out so highly. I remember them being a disaster most of the night. Still, I feel good about this win. I know Tech had already been exposed, but at least they didn't expose US.
Special teams allowed TD, shanked punt for about 12 yards, ran into punter and allowed KO returns past the 35 yd. line. There were some positives like Fera's FGs and KO for touchback. But a mediocre day at best for special teams.
Everyone should enjoy this scorecard while it lasts. The Red Raiders were like a midterm test, while the final exam (worth the biggest chunk of the team's overall grade) comes next weekend.
The defense kept a pretty prolific opponents' offense out of the end zone until garbage time - impressive! And the running game met the objectives of (a) making yardage, (b) scoring TDs, and (c) eating clock. Very nice win for the Horns! Now it's time to get ready for a stiffer test next game. HHD
The punt that went 12 yards looked like it may have grazed the blocker. Can someone who watched the game via TV comment if it did or not?
