Spectacular special teams play, of course, was the hallmark of the Virginia Tech teams coached for decades by Shane Beamer’s father, Frank. Without all of the above, this is a different football game, and perhaps, you and I aren’t feeling particularly cheerful on this Labor Day.
A punt by Kai Kroeger that nearly traveled 80 yards and caused me to actually stand up from the couch and start walking in circles for no apparent reason.A fake field goal that resulted in a first down, followed by a touchdown, for the men in garnet and black.Not one, but two 50-yard-plus field goals from new placekicker Mitch Jeter, who didn’t seem remotely phased by having to replace longtime kicking stalwart Parker White.Not one, but two blocked punts, both returned for touchdowns, to put points on the board for the Gamecocks on a night the South Carolina offense had trouble putting the car in drive and moving forward.You want to talk about special? Consider the following: That call came in the form of lethally efficient special teams play that shook us out of snooze mode and splashed cold water in our faces. We all needed a wake-up call – team, fans, coaches, everybody.
