If you aren't letting Moreno return punts because of fear of getting hurt you're an idiot. That dude has a lot better chance of getting hurt running through the line then returning punts. If he is your best kick returner then play him. A good return man can as big an impact on the game as a good running back. Get the ball in the hands of your play maker as many times as possible. Period. One big punt return can change the game.

I don't disagree with a single thing you said Infidel, good post. The only problem is, the Bush argument is comparable, but Bush didn't get the load of the handoffs while in the back field at USC, White did. Bush was placed all over the field. Moreno does get the bulk of the carries, and we actually don't have a named second tailback to date. King was supposed to be the guy, but he's getting some serious competition between two freshman at the moment. You can look at that as a good or bad thing I suppose. You do want your best player/athlete to have the ball as much as possible, but if we don't have a guy we can put the load on in case, GOD FORBID, Moreno gets hurt, then we'd be in a hole if he gets injuried on special teams
