I don't like the kicker the special teams coach took out of the portal either. He hasn't been great this yr.

Special teams is all about depth. You aren't putting your best players on kick coverage. We have a first year coach so the depth hasn't been built yet. Just because the transfer portal/NIL exists doesn't mean you can just build a championship caliber team in one year. Give it time.

We have special teams? I wouldn’t know because lane never punts and never takes points regardless of the flow of the game.

If it’s 4th and 5 or less he’s going for it no matter what. Even if it makes absolutely zero sense.

His numbers are good if I recall correctly, but he doesn't have the range of today's great kickers for sure.

It's like some of you don't even watch the games.

All we have heard for weeks was how Lane lost the game because he didn't go for it on 4th and 1 from our own 20 against Kentucky.

Kiffin also elected to punt 4th and 1 late in the Bama game.

If some of you are going to complain constantly, at least don't come up with crap that is completely factually incorrect.

Typically I would agree with this take, but not this year. LSU has to be the worst punt team in the country. Short punts or they’re giving up big returns to swing the momentum in games.

Early on at LSU, Saban had starters like Michael Clayton, Randall Gay and Norman LeJeune on special teams. At Bama, he had stars like Mount Cody, Jerry Jeudy and even Derrick Henry on his special teams. He believed that special teams were extremely important and so he put some of his best players on them.

He said he'd get on coaches when they would say they couldn't put this guy or that guy on special teams and would say that they must not think the special teams plays are as important as plays on offense or defense. Attention to detail. If it was good enough for the best to do it, it's good enough for me. Our special teams have been atrocious this year.

Wherever it was, it's irrelevant. The poster said he always goes for it on 4th and 5 are less. It remains a fact that he absolutely has not.
