We turn over the ball too much. 4 turnovers today, which includes that special teams kickoff turnover.

Special teams continues to be a train wreck.

It truly is. Our kickoff game is weak, FG kicking is atrocious, our return game is nearly non-existent, we've lost at least 2 or 3 kickoffs to turnovers now.

How often do you hear before games special teams and turnovers are the keys to the game? We have a great D but we need to get both fixed!

Agree fully EPA.This might be the worst NIU FB special team performances in the past 17 years. One cannot allow such a weak special teams and expect to win against the likes of WMU and several other MAC west teams with these preventable mistakes.

It's very strange that we finally get a good punter and we can't do anything else right on special teams. At least Hagan made his 1 FG and it was around 40 yards so not a total gimme either. We did have the one punt get downed inside the 1 yard line so that was good.

I could not attend the game because I had a wedding to go to. So I watched as much of the game as I could on my phone. I don't know how much more of ESPN3 I can take. There was an unbelievable number of commercials on that thing. It was almost like watching hundreds of commercials interrupted by a football game. Very frustrating.

Defense was so dominating. I think offensive issues were related to tropical storm force winds and heavy rain lol

Who is the special teams coach? Put him on the hot seat.
