With so much hemming and hawing about the Alabama offense and hand-wringing over the defense, little time has been spent discussing Crimson Tide special teams. Placekicker Will Reichard and punter James Burnip had mostly solid performances against Mississippi State, but there is some inconsistency that needs to be kept under observation.
SCORING
Reichard got back on track by connecting on field goals of 50, 33, and 38 yards. He also converted all three of his extra point attempts with no problem.
KICKOFFS
Over the last three seasons, Reichard has found the end zone on kickoffs the majority of the time.
