So who's had a guy that's returned either of those against the same team during their playing time?

Watched some Trindon Holiday highlights and say he had two returns against Arky during his time at LSU.

Christian Jones versus Virginia Tech in 2013.

Kickoff and punt return for TD in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff.

Pretty sure Eddie Kinnison housed every kick he ever returned against State.

Nightmare fuel , even after all these years

Holiday was one of the best kick returners in the history of college football...and one of the fastest players to ever play football. He was outstanding. He is one of a few players that had a legitimate shot to take it to the house every time he touched the ball. He was dangerous.

I would love to see his KR and PR average yardage per return for every time he was able to actually return a kick, not including the times when he didn't actually get a chance to return the kicks. It has to be up there.

The honey badger was another great in the return game. LSU has had its share of them that's for sure. Eddie Kennison and Chad Jones were a couple others who were good too.

I still remember going to LSU games as a kid sitting in the North Endzone next to the student section and the entire stadium (Yes, all 25,000 of us ) chanting his name every time he went back to receive a kick.

That had to raise a kicker's heart rate some.


Good Times. People in the stadium were much more pleasant to be around in those days. Makes me briefly wish from time to time that we have a little down stretch like the early 90's to cull the herd of idiots in our fanbase.

I think Isaiah McKenzie returned a punt and kickoff (the opening one) against Kentucky in 16


And speaking of Kentucky, didn't they have a white dude return 2 kicks for touchdowns in a game against Florida in the early aughts?

Upper North, one section removed from students.


Eventually got to move down to middle north endzone where my dad still has his tickets. 6 in a row in the section right next to where the band sits now. And two more two rows up.

Perks of buying season tickets every year since the 80's and going to every god damn loss in the 90's. Still remember sitting in that fricking monsoon against FSU? or was it Miami? Hard to tell in the downpour.

I hate the band being there. Loved them in the old spot.

He returned one for a td against us and had another long return (can't remember if it was a punt or interception) that he fumbled through the side of the end zone while he was on the 1 that should have been a touchback. Of course refs are terrible and didn't call it though

I was in the second end zone that he ran to. We just watched the whole thing in slow motion, not believing it was real
