#33 was bowled over on the first blocked FG at Duke. Same thing happened on first XP yesterday which was more surprising due to competition level. He used similar "low resistance" blocking techniques on other kicks but it looks as if that's how he's coached as he's not that easily knocked down or pushed any other time. Other times he allowed a nearly free runner go thru. Feels like another item to file under missed details that might bite us again later. I'm sure other teams will notice weak point if I did.

@Larry_Williams @Paul Strelow or anyone else that understands blocking scheme:

What are lineman taught in blocking techniques for FG/XP?

Why have starting DL in that spot instead of backup OL that is "trained" to block better?
