Oregon Ducks special teams ‘not where we want to be yet,’ Dan Lanning says
Oregon’s new punter and kickoff specialist every debuted final week and the outcomes had been a blended bag.
Adam Barry had three punts totaling 122 yards, with two contained in the 20-yard line, and Andrew Boyle had two kickoffs averaging 65 yards with one touchback for the Geese of their 49-3 loss to Georgia final week. However the outcomes of the specialists mixed with the statistics from UO’s protection models weren’t what coach Dan Lanning hoped for.
“I don’t assume it was what I wished,” Lanning stated. “It’s not the place we wish to be but. Our kickoffs didn’t get the depth and the hold time that we wish. The quantity of alternatives had been considerably restricted for these guys however the one factor about particular groups is it’s one-play focus; you get one play and it’s important to have a chance to do it proper in that one play. I feel these guys will inform you it’s an space of enchancment.”
