Townsend is the man

Not so special.

Greg Nord.

Townsend can punt, it's just a shame there's no one around to actually cover those great punts.

This is the worst special teams unit in the history of the game.

We're giving up huge chunks each game. Eventually it comes back to haunt you. It must be shored up.

'Nuff said.

I think the problem is the program needs to be run by the shareholders.

Could be worse but would take great effort.

Coverage sucks, returns suck. Two weeks in a row Townsend has out punted his coverage resulting in big returns. What was with that opening kickoff out of bounds??

There's no reason Nord should still be employed. He should have been fired a long time ago

Our staff is just lazy. It shows up in areas of special teams, penalties, lack of execution and missed tackles and just plain old lack of urgency. I just get the feeling that spring ball and two a days, or whatever the hell they are allowed to do now for us looks more like a walk through with alot of "atta boys" and you'll get it next time attitudes as opposed to accountability for sloppy practices and lack of effort.

5 punts for a 52.5 yd average.

KY - 3 punt returns for....29 yd average.

NOOORRRDD!!!!

 

[MertzJay26]

Oh, they're "special" alright.

Nord extension soon come.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Greg Nord.

Yeah, the teams seems inspired by his fire and grit. They definitely play like a team coached by Nord.

 

[GatorJ]

Punt coverage and kick return are the worst I've ever seen at UF.

Special Teams? More like Special Ed. Townsend excluded of course, but Eddy needing an IEP review after that first kick off.

I think your eloquent post sums up my feelings regarding Butters for 2+ years: ZERO ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!!!!!!

Was I the only one briefly worried that Piniero would have his final extra point blocked?

Mac finds our offense:

Carefully installs it:

Takes care of the little details most miss:

I've never seen a special teams unit where the kickers were so damn good, and everything else was so damn bad.

On that long punt return UK had early in the game, we didn't have a single player in the TV screen when the returner caught the punt.
