Alabama:
K - Will Reichard - #1 in 2020 #2 in 2021/2022 in the SEC (maybe the best in football)
PR - Kook Aid - #1 in the SEC (maybe the best in football)
P - Solid returning punter (42 avg.) - also the returning PK holder
How is yours looking in 2023 (especially if you want to contend)?

This is not to be taken lightly.
LSU suffered horribly and it cost us.

Brian Battie is going to be a stud for Auburn.

That's quite a turnaround. It seemed that Bama's special teams, especially the kickers have been the weak link in the last 10+ years

Mark my words our special teams unit is gonna save us in a few close matchups. This is our best special teams unit since the early Saban era.

He doesn’t know. He’s an insecure Georgia fan who apparently feels special teams doesn’t matter. Go figure.

Couldn't even be mad over the UTk miss. Kid has been solid. There was a time I had to close my eyes for every XP and FG

There was a point in time that I had relegated myself to not even caring. I just assumed a field goal would result in zero points and was pleasantly surprised when it worked out.

I felt the same way. It got to the point where anything within 40 yards was a coin toss for me and anything close to 50 yards was a guaranteed miss. I'm so glad to see things have turned around but it took almost a decade for it to happen lol

Tulu Griffin and Zavion Thomas are better if you want to check the stats

Weakest link on LSU's team last year. I hope they improve.

Kool Aid was #1 in the SEC last year . . . not sure what you mean.

Special teams matter. They matter a lot. And Georgias are excellent

He had 21 returns for 332 yards, 15.8 average and no TD’s
Zavion had 11 returns for 187 yards, 17 average and 1 TD
I guess you are going off total yards and not average

I'm confident ours will be better than last season.
Nowhere to go but up.
