Starting field position.

Not excusing Laviano's suck but I've never seen anything like this.

You didn't watch the Penn State game?
Yes, this was worse but there were similarities.

Well,

1. Kicking off out of bounds
2. Poor punting
3. Inability to get Punt returner on the ground
4. Offenses that go three and out regularly, and don't move the ball
5. Turnovers (the snap fumble on the 5 was especially efficient)
............will tend to give you poor field position, and RU managed all 5 quite well.

Add to this several penalties on returns. Seems like poor ST coaching.

And even though grant is a weapon, if he's gonna return a kick off he needs to decide immediately. Waiting makes penalties almost a certainty. That didn't help us much.

Plus the pick should have been brought out to the 20. We got hosed on that call IMO.
