Bowl game question - why the short kicks?

Kick coverage was considerably better at the end of the season. So why the short kicks?

No confidence in our coverage

They were getting to the 30/35 on every return anyway. LSU was just trying to prevent a return for a TD.

we didn't do it the whole game. and the times we didn't pooch it our coverage was spot on they were held inside the 20 yd line.
their returner was a burner and we didn't want to give him a chance to bring one to the house. it appears our kicker can't kick it into the end zone.

To be politically incorrect, bad special teams coaching and not recruiting a kicker that can put it out of the end zone.

A Texas Tech fan sitting next to me said their kickoff receiver was top notch, one of the best in the country. So, I took this as the reason for the short kickoffs

Because Tech has a damn good set of return men. Keep it away from them and make sure you are able to cover kick. Good strategy, paid dividends.
