Second-year special teams coordinator Zac Barton has a lot of pieces to work with. All three of the main specialists return this season in sophomore kicker Matthew Trickett, redshirt junior punter Derek Adams and senior long snapper Joey Palumbo but one of the things Barton has been looking forward to is added depth.
"I think we have some depth for the first time since we've been here," said Barton. "We made it through a year with one long snapper. We had to have some other guys like Isaac Vance snap, who did a nice job filling in, but those guys are position players and not snappers.
