This game should have been:
FAU: 23 – MTSU: 20
FAU needs to spend money on special team coaching, because not only are we ranked worst in the nation at it, but it is costing us games like wins against MTSU. We can't continue to let them coach themselves.
Don't believe me…
Mickey Groody punt blocked by SaCoby Carter, returned by Benjamin Cunningham, Benjamin Cunningham for 29 yards, to the FlAtl 0 for a TOUCHDOWN.
This is 7 of MTSU's 27-points.
Ross Gornall 34 yard field goal BLOCKED out-of-bounds.
Cost FAU 3 points.

FAU opponents having a block party
The Owls spent time last week working on field goal protection. Apparently, all that work went to waste as Ross Gornall had field goal blocked, the third this season.
And now, another special teams worry. Mickey Groody, who was named to the Ray Guy Award watch list last week, had two punts blocked, one returned for a touchdown, and he was tackled on one punt attempt after being pressured as soon as he handled the snap.
“That’s a shortcoming of mine, and my assistant coaches that work with those teams and we have to get that straightened out or it can happen again,” Schnellenberger said.
what a quote from Coach…. "fix it or it will happen again". WOW! he sounds very concerned. Man it's going to be a very long and disappointing season. Can the 2010 season hurry up and start already.

I can't defend the kicking anymore.
Unfortunately, it's much more than just the kicker. MTSU I believed blocked two punts (1 for a TD), and blocked a FG. So, it sounds like there are a ton of blocking issues on special teams.
