I was hoping that our next ST coach would be a Frank Beamer protege'. Beamer Ball was the most exciting ST play I've ever seen. Blocked punts all the time and ran back punts.
BTW, anyone have any idea why in today's college game, there are very few punts or kickoffs returned for TD's. I feel like it must be some rule change that makes it more difficult, but I can't put my finger on it. Anyone know why?
I want Beamer Ball on ST!!! Hope Olson does also!

Rule change for punts. It used to be where only the Gunners could cover before the ball was punted. New rule is EVERYONE can cover the punt and now you have these new wave punters that takes 3-4 steps before punting to let the coverage team get down field.

Kickoffs were said to be a safety type rule so they move the ball up to the 35 where now all the kicks are to the back of the endzone.
