The 2016 football season was the first in a number of years in which special teams was not only not a liability for Penn State – but a marked strength. From Tyler Davis’ streak of made kicks to Joey Julius’ big hits that made him a target for opposing special teams players, to Blake Gillikin’s obvious immediate impact (and game saving safety), to Marcus Allen and Grant Haley combining for the special teams play that shook the college football world during PSU’s white out game against Ohio State, Charles Huff’s squads came to play last year.
