The punt return emanated from our Special teams coach noting, on tape, that you guys do not finish strong on punts. Every kid that ever played the game knows the play is not over until the whistle blows.  Don't you think players in the SEC should know the rules.  Your players turned and walked off the field while the ball was live.  That is indicative of poor coaching and lack of discipline.  Our return guy ia a walk on who was a trained fire fighter.  Sure looked like you guys were way out coached.  Good luck with your hiring process.

I hate to disagree with you, but from this article it sounds like the idea “emanated” back in August.  So to say it came from watching our game film seems unlikely.  The decision to actually run it, yes,, but not the original concept.

I'm sure it's a bit of both. They always practice fire drills, fake punts, fake FG, fly flickers, etc... but when they see something on film that makes them think it will actually be successful, then they put it in the walk throughs and plan on using it.
