Can Anyone Tell Me?

Sorry that I missed the start of the game, or if someone else has posted about this, but how was it that Arkansas got the ball at our 35 after we received, I do understand there was a North Texas penalty, but how did it result in Arkansas at UNT 35?

I missed the start too but was told we held Arkansas on their first series and when they punted we had too many men on the field (12) which was a 15-yard penalty and they got the ball back and scored in like 3 plays. How can a player/coach get confused and have too many on the punt return team at the start of a game?

Thanks, NT80! I believe I've got it now. And, sorry to answer your question with another question (or 2), but who is our special teams coach, and are we cutting him a little too much slack in this forum?

Well, someone should always do a head count, either a player on the field or a coach in the pressbox and use a timeout if the count is off. Georgio alluded to this one play later in the radio broadcast as having a negative impact on NT for the rest of the game.

Well, this, in addition to the 2 blocked punts against FAU last week, makes me wonder if a little more attention needs to be paid to preparing the special teams.
