Scouting Arkansas State: Special Teams

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – If Middle Tennessee is going to snap a four-game bowl losing streak on Saturday at the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, it will have to play well in all three phases of the game. That means special teams will have to be a priority.

Arkansas State, the Blue Raiders' bowl opponent, has been susceptible to giving up big plays on special teams, but it also features one of the nation's best punt returners who can change the game in an instant.

The Red Wolves also have a pair of redshirt sophomores handling kicking and punting duties who will surely make things tough on MT's returners.
