Special teams are a tricky thing. When they’re good, nobody wants to talk about ‘em. When they’re bad... Oh, boy. Just wait until your team has a bad special teams unit.
Or, if you’re a Mizzou fan, just think about the 2018 season. (editors note: don’t remind us)
The Tigers had three punts/kicks blocked last year. Only seven teams had a kickoff go out of bounds more often than Missouri did, and they had the 2nd worst punt return average in the country. That’s... not good, and it obviously led to a lot of fan angst. I also have no doubt it also led to some sleepless nights for the coaching staff.
