Comparing 2012 -> 2013

-ST is as bad as I've ever seen it, anywhere. Schematic, not personnel, which means it shouldn't be a difficult fix.-Defense, much better...especially if you only look at the second half.

-Offense has kind of been a mystery to me for some time. You can never quite rely on them. I don't know if they were really better or worse. Certainly not as explosive. The highs weren't as high, but I don't know if the lows were as low.

-Turnovers, another facepalm of a year. Killed ourself all season

-Penalties. I'd like to see what they are across college football. Lot of bigger pentalties for helmet-to-helmet across the board. I know that I wasn't yelling at the OL for false starts nearly as much this year. So I think we're a little better here, just more the nature of the sport right now.

I disagree on all special teams being bad. Punt return was very bad, which is what is sticking out in your mind. The rest were fine to being pretty good. Punt team was the second worst unit and that was because the punter was very inconsistent.

Agree with this. "Special teams" gets lumped together a lot but it was really only punt return that was terrible. Punting was shaky but punt coverage was decent. Kickoff and Kick Return were both pretty good. FG and PATs were both really good save one game.
