Special teams is one of those things that a lot of football fans take for granted, especially kicking. A kicker has one job and one job only—make the kick when your number is called.
However, the Big Blue Nation has seen firsthand over the last few years just how important special teams can be.
Austin MacGinnis was lights out for Kentucky, and in fact, he probably even saved Stoops’ job when he hit a 51-yard field goal in 2016 to beat the Mississippi State Bulldogs. He then turned around and did it again a few weeks later to knock off Lamar Jackson and the hated Louisville Cardinals.
