While what they do is just a small fraction of the game, special teams players merit attention because of the value they bring in that small amount of time that they’re on the field. Just one play, good or bad, can completely change a game or bring a crowd to its feet. Punters are key to the field position battle, kickers are the ones thrown into some of the biggest moments of the season and returners can be remembered as heroes if they can make a few guys miss. With all of this in mind, IU’s specialists seem solid heading into the fall, with the opportunity to have a pretty good season.
