[NU Sports] Kicking (fwd)

Like at Virginia Tech?  I believe they block a lot more punts than most teams.

It'd be interesting to compare that with how many times VT gets flagged 
for hitting the kicker and how often they get burned with a big return 
because they went for the block.

A more subtle stat might be the number of first-team players who got
injured on special teams plays at VT.
