  --First forum post so here it goes--   

Our special teams seems to be a thorn in our sides at the worst possible times, & I can't wrap my mind around the reasoning behind it.  

  Urban started his coaching career largely through special teams and regularly emphasizes how important they are. As a top football program in the country, we have pretty much all the talented personnel we could ask for.  So then why isn't special teams regularly an advantage for the Bucks?  Instead of anticipating a "big play" we're just worried about not muffing punts.  From the Michigan state block, to Saquan Barkley's returns off our spotty kickoff/kick coverage, to the Dontre Wilson & company punt return experiences, we've had more than our fair share of miscues.  I honestly can't remember our last big-time special teams play in a big game.  Ted Ginn Jr.?

Am I a spoiled, overreacting buckeye fan or is this concern valid?
