New coach, expectations for GT specialists
By Heather Dinich | ESPN.com
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson has gone from one extreme to another — from no special teams coach to one dedicated entirely to that phase of the game. No other position group or meetings to worry about. Why? Well, for starters, two field goals were blocked last season, including one that was returned for a touchdown. A fumbled punt return led to a Miami touchdown, kickoffs were returned from deep in the end zone, there were two punts of less than 20 yards, and three missed field goals against Utah.
Enter Dave Walkosky — special teams guru. (His first college play was a blocked punt.)
