Terrible embarrassment a school the caliber of OSU has a kicker and punter that wouldn’t see the field at many non P4 schools.

Abject failure by this staff to NOT have these units solidified going into season. Just crazy to me…..

They got the 6'7 punter that was supposed to start was benched for a bad week of practice the first game and did he ever play this season at all?

One of my chief complaints of Day's tenure is his failure to solidify the Special Teams. Been a problem for years now. When's the last time we had a kicker you felt comfortable with in a clutch situation? Not to mention shaky punting and issues with decisions in the return game. Total neglect.

There seems to be some sort of arrogance there with Day where he legit thinks he wont need to actually use the special teams to help win ever.

I think the kicking/punting issues are more of a talent issue than coaching. With our NIL war chest, there is no excuse for not going out and getting one of the best of both on any given year. Or at least getting competent players at both positions. But for whatever reason, we seem to be okay with "just a guy" at either spot. tCun went out and got themselves an elite kicker last offseason, and it paid dividends. It feels like we haven't had a reliable guy from 40+ in years.

Now some of the boneheaded returns decisions is a coaching thing.

Bonehead return things have been a problem dating back to the Urban days, let's not forget the adventures of Jalin Marshall, you had to cringe every time he went to field a punt.
