NOTHING puts a team away and breaks a teams sole quicker than big plays on Special Teams. Mistakes can happen in any phase of the game and do happen, Even though Natl Champions again it would really be fun to see some of this talent dominate special teams. I feel our special teams are below standard in comparison to our O and D. I am not saying they are poor but clearly below standard compared to other phases of the game.
I hear what your saying but I think our style of play works. I don't think it has anything to do with talent, we are just conservative. Should we punt better? Absolutely. Should we change things up because it's fun to see? Not at the expense of the style and only if it gives us a better chance to win. I think it would be more fun to see us win our 7th National Championship in 8 years!!
With that being said... Channelle looks like he has the skills to be one heck of a returner!

Those are the games where it matters the most. Not many times can you drive 80+ yards against a defense like ndsu or him. You need to trust your return game to make a big play and give you a short field or td. Need to find that playmaker as a returner and think Brooks or one of these fast wr could really change the game with his speed and elusiveness.

Our punter wasn't nearly as good as LeCompte. I was more referring to our style where we don't go for a ton of blocks and take a lot of fair catches. We haven't needed many big returns because we've had huge leads. It would be nice to have an explosive return game when we're in a close game though

Our punter could only kick the ball 30-35 yards, I get that and it will change with a new better punter. However, I don't see why a great team has to settle for average special teams. There are two sides to conservative calls on Spec Teams. One of those is play aggressive and when you do make a mistake your defense can bail you out. The other asks you to punt it away, take no chances and let your defense get it back. I would prefer to see the Bison go to a four down offense from mid-field most every time. Play calling on first down considers the fact that your in four-down mode. Not too often would the Bison give the ball up. And once again, the defense is there to back you up. I favor keeping the ball as much as possible and blowing teams out early. Challenge your team to dominate early vs. hang on late.
