In-season practices are typically about two hours, and many squads work on special teams right at the start. So how do the specialists -- kickers, punters, snappers -- occupy themselves the rest of the time?
We now know. Minnesota's specialists have provided a peek inside their practice regimen, via their Twitter page.

The Gophers' schedule begins, predictably, with "Drill Field Goals" and "Nuke Punts," whatever nuke means. But they also have their time-fillers, like, "Watch 'Jeopardy' in the Locker Room."
My favorite practice activity: complain about the wind.
Kickers. Gotta love 'em.
