I think I saw ISU's punter with a 3-step kick. Did I not see it correctly? If so, that is a big part of the reason for the blocks. Gives the rushers more time in which to cover less distance. Have to fix that.

Its not just the steps. Dude takes BIG steps. He needs to take shorter steps and fewer.
It's been a while since we've had a 2 step punter at ISU. But i think part of the punting woes is missing Hathcock as our LS on punts... Significant drop off with Guess.
Edit: I think Dunn switched from 3 to 2 stop at ISU but he took two long after getting set after the snap. A lot of 2 step punters are set at the snap, or sometimes taie that set/split step as they catch to get it off quicker

He's a true freshman so he will learn. He actually had kicked the ball really well so far, when he gets it away.
Also the true freshman upback that got trucked twice. He tried to absorb the contact on both blocks. So much easier to redirect the rusher wide.
He is slow getting it off. He seems very deliberate in his steps.
Something that definitely needs to be fixed because good teams will continue to exploit it. Even last week against SEMO, they almost got one. Maybe a different protection scheme could help as well. The 3 guys back seemed to end-up pretty close to the punter vs. stoning the rusher.

For the first time since Campbell has been at ISU he has a Special Teams Coach. Did anyone see a positive difference in Special Tesms play today? Not me!
Long steps…. Ugh.
I see back line blockers getting blown up. They need to step into it and resolve that push.

Outside blocker is setting up too close to punter, Iowa guy just reached over him on the blocks.
When this board called it all week and then it happens twice, it's an obvious issue. Also maybe put the upback a little farther forward? I don't know, I'm no rocket scienctist. I thought the long snapper did a decent job and when we did get a punt off, they were solid. Taylor being a little off today was a nice break.
This was Obvious in the semo game. Doesn't anyone watch film? Anyone re responsible for his coaching?
Why are these basics so difficult for ISU coaches? High sc
hool coaches could do better.
