AUSTIN, Texas — Clank. Shank. Flag.
From the most reductive standpoint possible, those three simple words encapsulate the three areas in which the Texas Longhorns most need to improve on special teams, according to coordinator Jeff Banks on Tuesday, after finishing No. 117 nationally in special teams SP+ last season.
“I think we just see areas of improvement for this season being net punting, field-goal percentage and penalties. I think those are the three things after diving back into it and looking at it and being removed from the game and the emotion of some of those situations,” Banks said.
