Since DY was finally displaced at KR, I believe Tennessee's ST units were playing as well as anyone's in the country and maybe the best in our history. Even without NFL legs, our KO and punt coverage was as good as you'll see.
In our history? Carl Pickens and Dale Carter used to house kicks on a semi-regular basis. Guy named Willie Gault was good at it too.
Back on board after a bowl win and a top 10 krootin class. Poised for epic meltdown come Oklahoma. Buckle up.
The kick coverage was really good. The return game wasn't bad, but it's nowhere near Tennessee's best. CP was better in 2012
We couldn't keep teams from starting on our 40 in '12, this year people were regularly getting dropped at the 18.
It was cool when AJ was out there playing special teams and getting everyone fired up. He was such a huge loss. Berry returning kicks was a nice surprise. Medley appears to be solid as well.
Aaron Medley>Greg Burke and our punter compared to Chapman is a push. As far as coverage is concerned, the 89 and 90 group gave up multiple ST TDs each year.
