They are 101st in Opp Kick Return Average

They aren't perfect as some would think.

I noticed Sat night their kicker didn't get it past the 5-10 yard line.

I wish we had someone of the talent of PP or TM back there to make the most of this weakness.

KO return game is so fricking frustrating. Score and then immediately give other team life with a return to the 40.

Even though our Special Teams aren't as good as last year, I think we still have the advantage in that area.

Not impressed with their Punter, or anybody in the return game. Their Kicker has had a great year, but he hasn't had to kick anything over 40 yds.

I think special teams is a realistic area that LSU can outplay Bama....not sure about the rest though.

If Im not mistaken, they allow a higher than average amount of sacks as well.

That speaks highly of the D though. Still great defensive numbers despite some of the field position.

Maybe, LSU can exploit it, but as was mentioned not sure who could do it....maybe Ford

Alabama fans everywhere hold their breath when we kick the ball. It's mainly the continued shite that is Cade Foster.

I think that's probably a little overhyped stat. It can't be any worse than ours.

that's got to frustrate the crap out of Saban. I could see him going nutzo over that.

It definitely frustrates me. We kick arse at almost every position on the field, yet we can't even get a mediocre kicker? I see guys at tiny colleges able to boot the football from the 25 through the endzone every damn time, and Cade can barely get it to the 5 on a good day with favorable wind?

True. Its just one of those stats that have been reported...Bama is solid so its one of the few facets they can talk about.
