UMass special teams coach Joe Castellito speaks about the importance of special teams. 

Special teams have been the stone-in-the-shoe for UMass fans during our tour in FBS. Kicking in particular has lost a number of close games. A number of studies have found special team plays figure in the decision of about one third of all games. Improvement in special team play (in all phases) would really help UMass move to respectability.
