Disappointed that catching a punt is so hard, but I think out of this, we found our punt returner in Terrell Anderson, so that might be the thing I’m most excited about coming out of the game,”“We finally got a guy back there that knows what to do. What you do in practice has got to show up in games. The special teams area continues to be a sore spot for me with our performance.”
