NC State kicker Kyle Bambard and punter AJ Cole show off their All-American greatness

We had good reason to be concerned about special teams in 2015, what with a couple of veteran, reliable players graduating. NC State's going to be relying on a lot of youth to pick up the slack at place kicker and punter this year.

But it's clear now that there was never anything to be seriously concerned about. Freshman punter AJ Cole recently showed off his diverse skillset, effortlessly holding a football with his nose, and later returning one of his own punts. If that doesn't put you at ease, then nothing will, my friend.

The nose-hold may well be the future of football--just look at how true that kick by Kyle Bambard was.
