Results aren't great, but is that the blocking? Is it lack of depth?

Usually you'd see non-starters on special teams. So is this another indicator our 2nd / 3rd stringers (particularly blockers) aren't very good? I like Hanneman's hands but not the yards per return.

Seems like he has been sure handed so far even with the over-aggressiveness

I don't think the plan is always to reach the EZ on kickoffs.

Not sure much of that is his fault...he has rarely not had 4 opponents around

He's always been covered very well on returns.

I can't think of 1 single time he's had any room at all.

Oh, did he actually return one?

I like him in LF and CF. Hopefully he's with the Cubs in a couple years.

Have you seen Dye on the sweeps? The kid starts to QB slide anytime anyone gets

I didn't notice that on his one carry against UConn. He got laid out pretty good

They always look like big hits, but he stops running and is already going down

Dillinger

He tenses up when he sees a hit coming. I see a number of BYU players do it...

Punt Returner is one position where a coach should have experience. When to

I don't think that is a Hanneman issue, but rather a coaching issue.

Not sure if the returner is the problem....blocking has been terrible.....

Kick returners are worse.
