Just get me someone that can kick it to the back of the endzone and put it through the uprights from inside the 30. Anyone that can do it deserves a scholarship and a hot chick on each arm.
Does not exist. Arkansas has been in the top half of college football, in terms of touchback rates more often than not--- with peaks around the Top 20,in the last several seasons.
You don't get consistent, big legged performances in college football; even the NFL pipeline guys aren't consistent yet, while they're in the college sport.
25% touchback rates are more than acceptable.

25% puts you 94th in the country last year in touchback percentage. Moving the kickoff forward to the 35 has greatly changed the numbers.
For example, we finished 3rd in the country in TB% in 2011 with 43%. That was the last year you kicked off from the 30.
In 2012, we finished 5th with 67% after they moved it up to the 35.
We should be hitting 50% or more to be considered very successful with the new rules. We hit 14% last year so there is plenty of room to move up.
