The WSU football team ranked 116 in the nation in punt return yards.

By Alex Field Evergreen Staff The Cougs were back on the practice field on Tuesday focus- ing a lot of their effort on special teams. After ranking 116 in the nation in punt return yards in 2011, both players and coaches have been hard at work so far during spring practices. Head Coach Mike Leach said his special teams coordinator Eric Russell has done a good job installing new fundamentals to WSU. “Our guys do a really good job teaching technique,” Leach said. “I think sometimes spe- cial teams gets to where it’s just scheme-related. One thing Coach Russell does a great job of is (teaching) it’s not just scheme it’s technique. I think we’re get- ting a lot of good work.” After working on punt returns for portions of practice, the Cougars later worked on blocking punts as well as differ- ent punt return drills.
