A win is a win. Wait, is it?

My main issue -- I don't understand how MAC teams with lesser athletes (or even FCS teams like South Dakota State) can have significantly better kick coverage and return teams. I don't understand why our punt return blocking scheme never allows our returner any room to work. I don't understand how Derek Dimke can lead the league in touchbacks last year but seemingly try to drop kicks at the 5 in the corner this year. I don't get how our returners always bring the ball out and rarely reach the 20. I don't understand how Western Michigan can recruit a solid punter but we're rugby kicking. I don't know why we always miss the first tackle on a kick return. I don't know why we use the modern "three guys protect the punter" formation but twice in 4 games we let a guy in off the edge.
