WASHINGTON - Assistant Coach Kevin Doherty and the Georgetown University football team are building a new culture on special teams and it is showing on the field. The Hoya special teams units, which have blocked three punts over the past two games, lead all FBS and FCS programs with four this season. They rank second in the FCS with seven blocked kicks overall, trailing only Monmouth which has eight.
“Head Coach Rob Sgarlata has done a great job allocating the resources and making special teams a priority - and has had the faith and trust in the staff to get this started,” said Doherty, who serves as the team’s special teams coordinator.
