A LOOK AT THE SPECIAL TEAMS …
TULSA, Okla. –– Fans may lose sight of the importance of the third phase of the game of football – special teams – until there's a blocked field goal, or a return for a touchdown or a punt downed at the one-yard line that turns the tide of a game.
Special teams is so, so important in the game of football. One just needs to go back to last season in Tulsa's 27-24 season finale win over SMU. It was a blocked field by Tulsa's Zaven Collins at the end of the first half that proved to be the difference-maker in a 3-point win for the Hurricane.
