Special Teams Effect

Special team is an area I’m excited to see in action since it’s one of the things Mike Norvell has talked about since day one.

Will the Noles set the tone for the game by deferring until the second half, and going down the field and rocking the Georgia Tech returner at the 14-yard line?

More importantly, I’m interested in how Mike Norvell will use this phase of the game with such inexperience at punter and kicker.

Will he trust a young kicker to attempt a long field goal from the opponent’s 32-yard line or go for it on fourth down?

Some pundits expect the Noles to struggle offensively. How will punting look Saturday?

Special teams for the Noles have given up a ton of hidden yardage over the past few seasons. A good punter and solid defense can help the Noles help themselves if the offense can’t find any rhythm.
