I know that time of possession is misleading, but I was surprised to see that NAU has had the ball for about 31 minutes to only 14 for the Aggies at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Nifty play call there for.the big gain, we looked unprepared for it. All set up by the huge leap and kickoff return. KICK IT INTO THE END ZONE! (CAN YOU?)
if you have outstanding tacklers and a great scheme - maybe. But kicking the ball into the end zone works every time. Today’s kickers should vibe able to do that. I am not sure that the special teams coach is scheming a short kick.
