Awesome numbers

1 yard difference in starting position. The hidden statistic is risk.

I'll concede 1 yard starting field position if it means they have 75% fewer opportunities to return it to the house. All day.

Thanks. I spent way too much time getting all those numbers, but I figured I'd distract myself from studying for finals. I'm ok with kicking it out the back every time for sure. I'm also ok with the directional kicking because we did a really good job covering that this season. Having the other team's best return the entire season get to the 31 with the directional high kick around the 5 is incredibly impressive.
