SwiftFan87 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 ^^ punt returns weren't live so how could he "suck" if he wasn't allowed to return punts? Quote Link to comment
kc_husker Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Because not once but twice he didnt even run up and catch the ball. So the ball hit the ground and rolled for more yardage. Thats why Quote Link to comment
ForRealBigRedFan Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 It's good to see them recognizing how bad our return game was last year and trying to fix it and early!!!! The bigger problem than this is second half play and if our guys can play as good in the second half as they do in the first half. It sure would be nice if they could figure this out in year four. The coverage teams suck too. The special teams as a whole have been bad for the last 3 years. Quote Link to comment

Lucky also had a kick return for a touchdown that was called back on a hold way away from the play. Congdon set a freshman record for field goals as well. Last year's ST were not good, that's obvious. But since you obviously hate this staff, I wouldn't expect you to actually do any research, sweeping generalizations are more your style.

Hunter94 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 What about Prince??? maybe, but asking an awful lot from a freshman to return kicks, expecially not being used to the speed and hitting at the D-1 college level. back to needing sure hands again, first ala Panico. Quote Link to comment

Pedro Guerrero Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 The average per return was 12.1 that year and is 9.58 since 04. Kickoff returns are 19.06 since 04. Compare that to the other teams average of 6.72 PR and 19.56 KO. Punting has been solid since 04 so you can't say all of the special teams have sucked since Callahan came to town.
