Check the tape - Northwestern

What might prevent this team from having a special season? Special teams. Right there, simply because our returner was not informed on the rules at theirs was, they gained a 15 yard advantage. Like the Jay Prosch brain cramp last week where he allowed a punt that was bouncing backwards to bounce past him, I'm putting this one on the coaches. The players MUST be prepared for every special teams scenario. It's obvious that the Northwestern players were. It's obvious that the Illinois players weren't.
