Conclusion

The 2016 edition of FSU Special Teams were not very good overall, and simply terrible on punt returns. There are a fewer questions going into 2017 than last season though.

I expect Aguayo to get better in his role, and Tyler should progress as Beatty did in the punting game.

The biggest thing is developing a punt return game. FSU football needs to get back to the days of special teams being a threat to do damage instead of a liability.

If they can do that and limit teams in regards to field position, that will be huge for a defense that should be among the best in the nation.
