Special teams?
Currently #4 nationally for Special Teams efficiency according to Football outsiders:
www.footballoutsiders.com
#1 last year, #16 in 2018, #16 in 2017, #7 in 2016 (when Levar took over the unit, though he did not become the official "coordinator" until 2017).
For comparison, they were 98th, 77th, 62nd, and 49th the 4 years prior with Chris White primarily in charge.
Get Levar Woods a raise.

A lot. A significant amount I'd say. Field position means a boat load to us due to our style of play. We have to hit our FGs and win the field position battle. Look at the 1st Q yesterday. We were pinned deep our first few possessions and ya'll saw how that played out. Woods has been a rock star

Charlie Jones...what a difference maker. He can change field position so quickly and he makes good decisions. Someone should have thumped that Illinois moron who cheap shotted him Saturday. That's the most egregious hit in football. A guy is looking up waiting for a ball and you have a 30-40 yard run and you clock him. Those were the type of hits my teammates and I would pay back during the course of a game. That dude would have gotten blindsided a couple of times...and we would let him know why and it ain't over for him until the game is.
It's also more then the obvious. It's not just the longer punts it's the coverage on them. When's the last time anyone returned a kick on us for a significant amount? Those guys run hard stay in their lanes and don't stay blocked. I was half pissed when we had a penalty called on us on a return. Not committing penalties is also a part of it usually we do a good job of that too.

We play who is on the schedule. You can lose to any opponent. See, Purdue.
