Did anyone mention the possibility that the kid was trick or treating and hoping to find a house that was giving out Rhesus?

We’ve all been there, it’s Halloween, you left your wife and kids for a stripper so you don’t even remember that until you see a kid in a pirate costume, you’re trying to study film to come up with an

Yep, Andrew Dismukes pitched the idea and they ran with it.  Mulaney killed in it because, while a great standup but not great comic actor, he can do this thing where he sorta plays down the absurd with his pitch.  It's actually a callback to a judge Mulaney impersonates in his standup in a bit about Law & Order, but obviously this is more theater of the absurd.  The man's a genius, trying to tell y'all.

This dude’s unit is the biggest liability in the program currently. Our punters absolutely suck, we have no return game awareness and our FG kicker is about as dependable as the French army. 

It very well might cost this team in the playoffs. It has to be a focus this offseason to upgrade every element of STs because they’re absolute garbage.

It's pretty amazing how perfect Auburn kicked the field goal that was 20 yards offline, I mean that fucking thing went straight as an arrow, damn near like he was trying to kick it to some chick in the stands.

Kicking and punting have definitely been issues, although that’s not something you can do much about once they’re on campus.  Bert has regressed in a big way vs last year, and i could be imagining things, but I think Kern hasn’t really been the same since before his injury.

Yeah, somehow, I excuse coaches for kickers/punters that underperform, especially if they regress, as Auburn seems to have.

If you watch Kern, he seems to have less "oomph" in his punts than most punters (less kicking leg extension, less "hop"), which would seem to be a result of the injury.

Is the ST coach primarily responsible for recruitment of kickers?  It would seem so and that would seem problematic, and there's also the question of depth and backups in the event a kicker inexplicably gets the yips.

Do kickers/punters get full scholarships?  If you have to demote one, do you revoke his scholly?  Have to kick him off the team because of roster limits?

Coverages have mostly been pretty good, and that's clearly a coaching issue.  Bolden has been epileptic/electric but hasn't seemed to cost us anything much.

I tend to agree that the placekicker and punter sucking isn't necessarily something you can pin on the ST coach. However that blocked punt certainly is. Looked like the protection was running a roll right punt and the punter executed a straight punt. The good news is that kind of thing can be a one-off mistake where you fix the miscommunication and it never happens again.

And, that might again go to the injury.  Kern may not have felt right trying to roll.  At least in my head if you have a gimpy hammy, just straight punting is hard enough, let alone trying to kick it on the trot.  But again a communication issue:  Coach, I don't think I can do that.
