It seems like this is a thing of the past. Saw an SEC stat recently that only 25% of kicks are returned and the average of the ones returned was 21 yards. Only 1 returned for a TD. Too many penalties are called on returns so its more advantageous to take the ball at the 25.4 said:
Makes me wish we would return kicks...

Uh, yeah, the NCAA is basically trying to take the kickoff out of the game due to the violence of the hits on that play. Rule changes that they kick closer to the endzone, can now fair catch, and a touchback or fair catch puts it at the 25 instead of the 20. Those rule changes virtually eliminates the value of returning a kickoff. That's not been a secret for anyone following the game very closely at all.zachsccr said:InMyOpinion said:It seems like this is a thing of the past.

This exactly. There are very few situations where taking the ball out of the end zone end up worth the risk. Is to more boring? Yeah. But I'd rather 75 yards to go every time then risk 1st and 10 from your 15 or worse.

yes, the mistakes made in the Vanderbilt game...are driving some of Jimbo's strategyRuss79 said:
The only problem with Smith and kick returns is he doesn't seem to understand that if you can read the letters in the end zone while running form players on the other team you need to take a knee...
