With how many crucial games have come down to special teams (looking at you, Ohio State), it feels like a misstep for the Buffaloes, who are looking to improve on last season’s 3-9 record.

Will Deion’s staff be able to handle the extra responsibility, or will having no special teams coordinator come back to haunt Sanders?
