Interesting Stat from last year...

[Dawgpile]

State set the SEC record for most kickoff return yards in a season: 1514

Agreed, that is not a stat you want to be setting records in.On a positive note though, I felt like we had a chance for a big play every time we fielded a kickoff last season and we had several. I'm not defending Torbush b/c I am glad to see him gone, but I think it was probably an explosive kick return unit, more thanhis defense that led to the record b/c we have had much worse defensive teams than the one last season.

Think about the amount of points given up by some of Sherrill's last teams and Croom's first few seasons. Those should have been record setting years for kickoff returns andmaybe they were. It wouldn't surprise me if we broke our own record.

We do appear on the top-15 3 times. 2009 (1st), 2003 (8th), and 1969 (10th).

Between having no defense and a kick as special teams, we racked up a lot of return yards.

Berry was very good last year. Only took one to the house, but he always had at least a pretty good return.
