Utah's specialists are people, too

This has been a pretty special year for Pac-12 special teams. We wrote last week about the abundance of kick and punt returns, and several kickers have enjoyed the thrill of kicking game-winners.

Utah is widely regarded as having the best special teams in the country. Punter Tom Hackett is a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award and has been honored three times as a star of the week.

Kicker Andy Phillips leads the conference in field goals made and is second in accuracy (82.6 percent). He is also a Groza Award semifinalist.

And long snapper Chase Dominguez -- well -- I don’t think I’ve typed his name once this season. If you’re the long snapper and no one knows your name, that means you’re doing a good job.

But the trio recently showed off their skills, while also looking for a bit of respect. The following Vines show a display of their accuracy, followed by a brief message that specialists are in fact people, too.

Enjoy.
