I agree totally! SK does not have any make you miss type of players but they have plenty of straight line speed along with a very good OL.
Cooper also has very good OL/DL but their backs and WR make you miss.... a lot.
If I remember correctly, Barker had pressure one time and that was the first play. You make good pre-snap reads and quick decisions to get the ball out fast.
What about having the tuition for the degree offered being be based on the earnings of a job in that field, in say the first five year after graduation?
He goes to catch the punt, like normal and starts to run to his left at the same time. He takes two steps before he realizes that the ball went through his arms and then between his legs, the ball is on the ground behind him.
Just saw the replay...muff punt. Returner goes to catch it and slides a little to his left, ball hits his hands, goes between his legs and falls to the ground before Cooper player is there. Muff punt and should have been blown dead.
Does it change the game, IDK it would have been Cooper ball 1st and goal from about the 3 or 4 yard line.
Did he have control of the punt? From my angle it looked like a muff, meaning he never had control of the ball started to run and dropped it tried to regain control and then lost it, but I was not very close to the play.
The pressure when it got there was because nobody was open because of all the players dropped in coverage. On top of that Schlarman's job was to go where Padgett went.
