The worst I've seen in my lifetime. I never thought I'd see worse ST than the Bielema era but this is 2A Arkansas High School bad.

Absolutely, worst I have ever seen. Should have hired a ST coach.

We still lose, but its a much, much closer game if our special team play had not been such a disaster.

Hyperbole is fun, but it's definitely very, very bad. It's pathetic for an FBS football team.

Yep. We gave them short fields over and over again through tipped, blocked or returned punts.

Auburn’s scoring drives were 27, 1, 9, 72, and -10 yards.

It seems like some coaches don't think special teams matter. I'm old enough to remember when our special teams were always good, so this annoys me to no end.

We sre just so slow as a team and its killing us on special teams. We have no one like #23 for auburn.


Atleast we showed we had a pulse and played the whole game.

Special teams really killed us but we still would not have won since the offense can’t figure out what to do in the red zone

Defense has been Stellar this season.

We might have half a chance in Dallas this weekend

It is amazing how bad it truly is right now. I went back and you can argue just the special teams gave up 24 points.

And you wouldn't have to argue too hard to get folks to agree with you.

Nope, our defense actually played really well to not let that number reach 50 with all the terrible spots they were put in.

If you kick the ball out of bounds on a kick off do they start at the 35? We need to do that instead of letting them run to our 35.

I'm not sure that's a hyperbole.we are slow and out of position all day. its poorly coached and execution is worse.

Hell he's a dumbass but I'll take him as a ST coach. Our special teams were pretty damn good under him during the Petrino era.

Is there a worse team in D1 than us right now? Eastern Illinois? Are they even real D1? We're definitely the worst power 5 right?

Seriously.
