I've seen one for the LBs, the O-line, Coaches, Stanzi, Defense in general, Moss-y-back specifically. Where's the one for the whole special teams? How did the special teams suck, let us count the ways...
Okay, where is the thread that blames our special teams?

Actually this makes sense. Here are the only postitive things I can say about the special teams...
1. We recovered a muffed punt.
2. Donahue boomed his punts.
3. At some points, we kicked off and the ball was not returnable.
4. Return game was good.
That is all.
Here's what sucked...
1. Punt blocked**.
2. Gave up kick-off return for TD**.
3. Punted from Ariz. 39, ball lands on 5 while we stand around, ball goes into endzone netting us 19 f---ing yards.
4. Ran into guy fair-catching a punt (15 yards)
5. Boomed punt through the endzone on one that we could have tried to pin them deep.
6. Routinely gave up large returns on kick-offs.
7. Had PAT blocked** which would have giving us only lead.
** Denotes soul-crushing momentum swings.

Actually, the coverage was pretty damn good in the second half.
Donahue's boomer through the endzone seemed to be out of frustration. That wasn't even close.
The discipline was pretty good in the second half too (Clayborn's PF not withstanding). We were the better team in the 2nd half. We just put ourselves in too deep.

Don't start this game, this is how ISU talks.

I'm not saying it makes up for the first half (it obviously doesn't). But it makes me feel a little better going forward. It was a total collapse over 4 quarters. We came back, which is something that the teams in 2005 and 2006 did not do. That was encouraging.
