I'll take those 50+ yd field goals all day!

For sure.

LSU had a blocked 30 yd FG, 2 muffed punts recovered by FSU and a blocked PAT.

For sure.

LSU had a blocked 30 yd FG, 2 muffed punts recovered by FSU and a blocked PAT.

And for 3 1/2 qtrs the only offense was QB scrambles.

Our special teams came through. Thank goodness they pulled us through. Blocked punts. Long field goals. Way to go. Kudos to st players and coach.

Our special teams score points. We need help in the scoring department. So, yes....VERY important for us.

Not making any mistakes is a big deal for special teams.

Josh Vann also averaged 11 yards per punt return. Blocking punts has the added benefit of causing the kicking team to commit more blockers which can yield better returns. Two 50+ FGs is impressive.
