Tomorrow night’s football game between the ADM Tigers and Nevada Cubs is one that will include two dynamic offenses and two defenses that have been difficult on opponents for the majority of the season. One of the things that could potentially play a big factor is special teams, often viewed as a great equalizer in the game of football.

Both teams have quality kickers, with junior Sam Holloway leading the Tigers with 43/46 extra points and 3/3 on field goals. Aiden Freeman has been good for Nevada as well going 45/47 on PATs and being 1/1 on field goal attempts. On punt attempts, Nevada has kicked 20 on the year for an average of 34.7 yards, while ADM 14 for a 39.9 average. Tiger football has had 61 kickoffs for 7 touchbacks while Nevada has 61 kicks with 1 touchback, so both teams will have the opportunity to return the football. Nevada has average 26.8 yards per kick return and a touchdown while ADM has put up 26.1 yards per kick return and zero touchdowns on the year.

Winning the battle of special teams could loom large in this game, especially if both teams are neutralized on the offensive and defensive sides.
