Not sure how much longer , it will even matter. He has had how many opportunities to return them ; 5? Through his career. He's taken 2 back. Teams aren't going to kick to him any more.

I will bet anything that we kick it straight to him at least three times.

I agree with you and I've said that I like Gurley back on kickoffs (said it before the season). He did it his freshman year, plus our last great kickoff returner was Brandon Boykin, but I bet no one was bitching about him possibly getting hurt and missing plays on D.

I also think the coaches are doing it to have that extra element in the Gurley Heisman campaign.

Also to people saying that other guys could of ran that back, while possibly true, Gurley just has excellent vision, and I'm not sure some of the other guys would of made it in for the score, or not got caught by the last clemson guy.

**I also said Gurley should do kick returns on 24/7 and a lot of guys got butt hurt over it too

And you don't run him 4 times a half, he should be coming off the line not fielding KOs. Bad move. May get lucky, but not worth the risk. See above on the NFL stars that don't go near it. There is a reason.

You can't compare NFL to college in this respect. NFL players have a more specialized roll.

Also if you believe this, then we should not have any guys on our team play offense and defense. We should never run the wild dawg while we are at it since they dont do it in the NFL.
