I still say this is Croom's legacy. His punter for 4 of the 5 seasons at MSU set a career record for punts in a career in the SEC. And if I remember correctly, McAdams didn't punt every punt of his career did he? I want to say that he lost his job for a game or two, though I could be wrong on that. Either way, it's a bad stat when you're supposed to be an offensive minded coach.
