Mind-boggling fact - washingtonismoney - 10-18-2012

In this profile of Pete Alamar: Jordan Williamson is second in the Pac-12 in field goal percentage: http://www.sfgate.com/collegesports/article/Big-change-for-assistant-Pete-Alamar-3958372.php

I saw that this morning. That fact was put out there as if is spoke to the quality of Alamar's coaching. What it really says is that Pac-12 kickers areÂ having a down year.

Re: Mind-boggling fact - washingtonismoney - 10-18-2012

Yeah, in general I think the special teams are improved, though probably not difficult to do vis-a-vis Brian Polian. Williamson's erratic play is understandable, if frustrating. But I've been pleased in general with the special teams and have to give credit to Shaw for making a somewhat risky hire.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2012Â Â 2011 (through 6 games)
Net Punting:Â Â 46thÂ Â Â 68th
Punt Ret. D:Â Â 56thÂ Â Â 40th
Punt Returns:Â 9thÂ Â Â Â 23rd
KOR D:Â Â Â Â Â Â 17thÂ Â Â 54th
KOR:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 36thÂ Â Â 45th

Cum rank:Â Â Â Â 164Â Â Â Â 230

Looking at the numbers, it's hard to dispute Alamar has improved Stanford's special teams overall, but I'd like to see the Net Punting get better and see the defense helped out a bit more.Â Zychlinski is very mediocre.

As for FG kicking being down, it's down across college football, and another reason coaches should stop settling for FGs and go for it on 4th down way more than they do.

Or maybe FG% is down because coaches have decided to go for it more often inside a certain number of yards from the endzone.
