[QUOTE="soupy17, post: 1800309, member: 74924"] I think an underrated aspect of Griffin's early struggles may have been the holding? If you watch Robert's Check the Tape videos from IlliniBoard, he pointed out one from one of the early games (which one is escaping me) where Hugh basically dropped the hold and Caleb had to kick it off the ground. It's clearly taken Robertson a few games to get fully comfortable, and his punts were great against Iowa. The holding skill is probably an underrated thing for a punter to learn and I think has an under-appreciated affect on kicks. This is pure speculation on my part - just connecting some of Hugh's early punting jitters to be overall jitters, with the one piece of video evidence that came to mind. [/QUOTE]
