Special teams? You want to talk about special teams waking a giant? Son, I watched the 1990 team block punts and win games with pure guts. That's not what wakes a program. What wakes a program is a defense that hits you in the mouth for four quarters, like the Bryce Paup and Chris Slade days. You can scheme all the kickoff coverage you want, but if your linebackers can't tackle, it doesn't matter where the other team starts. I remember when we had to earn every yard against Clemson and Maryland in the old ACC, and field position was a reward for physical play, not some analytical trick. This new coach can talk about being physical, but until I see a defensive line that controls the line of scrimmage like the 1995 squad did, it's just talk. All this focus on hidden yards and rankings is what's wrong today. The beast wakes when the other team is afraid to run the ball, not when you force a touchback. We've been soft for years, and no special teams unit fixes that. It's a mindset, and it's built by stopping the run on first down, not by hoping your kicker bails you out.
