Do teams start practicing squib kicking?


Even with the move to the 25 yard line, it looked like VT's philosophy was just get the touchback anyway, so I don't think this changes anything at VT at least for the kickoff. I feel like in the return game, it was a wash for the most part of pretty much getting back to the 25 on a return (give or take).
I think some coaches may try to return the ball because they know that with this rule, less coaching will be put on covering kick-offs.
I am not sure if some coaches will then try squib kicking to get the ball in the 5-10 yard line and try to cover like that to gain some field position.
