A look at FAU special teams

By Marcus Nelson

After the 2009 football season mercifully came to an end, we started on a series of stories breaking down each position.

While we are finished with our Owl Analysis of where each position stands and what are the recruiting needs and the prospects for the future, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention special teams.

FAU is pretty much set with kicker Ross Gornall and punter Mickey Groody. Groody in particular, had a great year with only 10 of his 46 punts returned.

Gornall was 8-12 kicking with a long of 42 and all of the misses were blocks.

Of course, the blocks were the prevalent theme of 2009, but with a new special teams coach coming there could be a renewed emphasis in the kicking game.

One area where there is bound to be changes is the return game. There will be no shortage of candidates to return kickoffs or punts including Travis Jones, Damian Fortner, Tyrie Allen and DeAndre Richardson getting a shot. And don't forget that Willie Floyd is certain to be in the mix as well.

That should get you excited for spring...provided they practice returns then.
