All you guys bitching about level of competition don't really understand much football, do you? If this was an offense v defense type thread, it would matter...a GREAT DEAL. But a lot of special teams stats are just stats...does your kicker put the ball in the endzone more because you are playing Oregon than New Mexico St? Why did Alabama allow a kick off return TD this past weekend against an FCS school?
Serious question, why do you guys have so few touchbacks? Your kickoff coverage unit is obviously good, but not so outstanding that you you always kick to the goal line to 5 yard line and let them keep the other team to less than 10 return yards.
Arkansas: 82 kickoffs, 5,557 yds, 67.8 avg., 1,060 return yds, 34 touchbacks, 46.5 net avg.
LSU: 78 kickoffs, 4,940 yds, 63.3 avg., 1,388 return yds, 9 touchbacks, 43.2 net avg.
