re: At the half way point

They won’t ruin your day like that.

So no worries. Continue enjoying yourself.

I see. The two "N's" in your screen name stand for Nowledge.

You knew Craig led the country in 50+ yard FGM.

You knew the KO return team was better than 6 top 10 teams and the punt return team had allowed only 8 total yards.

And you ignored all of that and focused on some blocked kicks that occurred in 20 point wins......

So, you gave the Special Teams a D minus.

Here's and objective evaluation from the PD beat writer. I even forgot about the punt return for a TD.

Special teams: C+
Each specialist should probably be graded separately for fairness, but for space, they’re lumped together.

Kicker Blake Craig is 11 for 17 on field goals, which includes some blocks and the brutal short-range miss from this past Saturday. Some of those blocks aren’t his fault, but he’s been inconsistent. Mizzou is better having him healthy yet also needs him to be a little better.

Punter Brunno Reus leads the SEC in punts and punting yards, which shows how much he’s been needed. His average net punt of 40.9 yards puts him right around the middle of the conference. Reus has had some timely field-flippers and is an upgrade on what this position has been before at Missouri.

In the return game, punt returner DaMarion Fowlkes has a touchdown.
As a whole, special teams are both better than they have been in recent seasons but still only around the SEC average, at best.
