The way he fields punts is the one thing, from him, that drives me crazy. Some times he gets in that mode where he thinks he can return everything and doesn't call fair catches when he should. Or, when the ball is on the ground and he will stand 2 feet from it.

Not sure whether he called for a fair catch or not but he had plenty of space for the catch and it bounced off of his facemask.

To answer the OP: It was huge, but I think it is LSU's fault for making him the feature player on offense and special teams since he was a soph. Just seems like they heaped too much pressure too soon and he still hasn't recovered.
