    Fumbled punt
    Another punt we didn't field and ended up 55 net yards
    One of our punts only netting 29 yards
    Missed XP
    Botching the punt inside the 5 not being downed, touchback instead

    Special teams alone kept Auburn hanging around

    Good points. I’ve been blaming play calling, but STs deserves criticism. Blaming all around!

    Truth be told if we don't fumble the punt, Auburn would have never had any fight in them. They would have been so defeated not being able to move the ball.

    Oh well.

    What should have been a 41-6 game wasn't.

    Fire ST coach. Return game still looks clueless and without kick Tracy we miss XPs.

    Well the special teams could single handedly lose the Alabama game for us.

    How tragic will it be if we outduel them on both offense and defense and still lose the game?

    Is the special teams coach the guy the Saints got rid of a few years back?

    Let’s not forget Derrick Dillon’s idiotic penalty on the first punt.
