Special Teams

Punt coverage has been flawless besides the one Stanford return
 
Ross Martin and Will Monday have been impeccable.

Anytime Monday has not punted the ball over 50 yards you can see he gets disappointed in himself.

Martin is 7-8 I believe, and perfect on XPs for the year. AA-Synderwine kind of season. Let's hope he doesn't regress like Snyderwine did his senior year.
 
Punt practice should consist of Blakeney and Monday practicing their timing and placement.

If you master this, nothing else will matter as Blakeney has looked like a cyborg tracking down returners.
 
Special teams have been fantastic. Couldn't be happier with our kicking game. It's cost us too many games recently. Thankfully that appears to be a thing of the past.
 
Special teams is almost always an indication of quality depth, something Duke hasn't had since Spurrier.
 
I'm still holding out for a game changing special teams surprise.

A well executed field goal or punt fake could be the difference in any of our remaining games.

To my knowledge we haven't yet run one this year, which is good.
 
We ran a fake punt, I believe against FIU. Monday passed the ball to Connette for a gain of about 19.

Let's have that one work again.
 
Glad to see Alex King land on his feet at Texas and doing well. He is averaging 45.7 yards per kick (10 punts). Also, glad that Will Monday has been excellent and even (barely) better than King at 45.8 yards per kick (33 kicks).
 
Ross Martin is 93% on field goals, 100% on extra points. He is top 5 in the country in field goal percentage among kickers with 10 or more attempts.

Will Monday is averaging over 45 yards per punt. He is top 20 in the country in punting average.

Duke arguably has the best kicking/punting duo in the country. They are both freshmen.
 
The way they handle themselves with every kick is so business like too. Incredible poise.
