been infected by the yips, is not healthy physically or Baxter had some FG special sauce he took with him. He looks like he's never kicked a ball and it has to be something the staff sees because that's why we didn't kick last week. Maybe we haven't focused on kicking as much as punt stuffs?

I'd like to UM double the outside gunners so Peppers can get some runs in off the punt. Had a couple then everything was fair catches because the outside guys were in his face. Block those guys better and maybe we see another long one.

Make the damn kicks.

Plus side, I thought the coverage teams did a nice job despite our antiquated punt formation.  There were a couple situations where a lot of grass that Wisconsin closed down quickly.

It's something that can be WORKED on this season. Not something that should reach an acceptable level this season. (Barring the emergence of Nordin). Learn to live without FGs.

there was talk here about how special teams were great with all the punt and kick blocks and returns and discussion about the true impact of Baxter leaving.  I actually thought Allen had a good game punting.
