Special teams

I don't remember the last time the Pokes had as good a special teams game as against UNLV.

The FG kicking was good, the punting and coverage was great and the kickoffs were adequate.

Kudos. It'd be great if this goes from a liability to something you don't have to worry about.

One other thing - is there a jet stream going south in the stadium? I was noticing how the UNLV kicker was booming shots on kickoffs in the first half, but things switched in the second half. I had never noticed it before. Did anyone else notice that?

Winds from the north that day 10 - 15 MPH, plus some gusts. What is more inpressive, is that our kickers did well heading into the north / wind. Especially in the 2nd half.
