Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin frustrated with special teams play

During practices last week, the emphasis for Florida Atlantic was tackling.

This time, the focus is special teams, particularly punting. The Owls have allowed blocked punts returned for touchdowns in both games this season.

No compatible source was found for this media.

“Obviously on the punt protection, two weeks in a row getting a punt blocked, that might be a world record,” FAU coach Lane Kiffin said. “Obviously, we have to do some work on that. We will just continue to try to improve in all areas.”

After having a blocked punt returned for a score in the opener against Oklahoma, the Owls’ mistake last week almost cost it a victory against Air Force.
