Since they know they're not gettin' many touchbacks, why not send down our hungry back up linebacker types to jar the ball loose on a certain % of plays - may be a good gamble?

How many touchbacks have we had on kickoffs this year?

You're right we've got none

Ther is part of me that wonders if this is by design, based on the performance

Bronco had said that when they moved the kickoff to the 35 that they weren't

a touchback also holds them within the 25; just saying'...

It holds them AT the 25. Personally, I would rather have a kicker who can kick

But no chance for a turnover

Turnovers more common than TD returns

No offense to Bronco, but that's dumb.

Why is it dumb?

Braves Fan

most obvious reason

Trying to evaluate that proposition

Braves Fan

Well, that is what we are doing right now

No offense to swingcat, but that comment is dumb

Add to that the Texas fumble recovery.

I thought the same thing. Maybe he gets really good hang time or something

Do you play online?

I think we had 1 vs. UT

Correct

Touchbacks would hurt our opp. ave starting position

ManicBlue

9/17/14 1:25am

that's interesting. What's the opp's ave starting position this year?

swingcat

9/17/14 1:51am

Here is what Greg tweeted out ...

ManicBlue

9/17/14 2:02am

I wonder how that ave position compares to the rest of the nation.

swingcat

9/17/14 2:05am

Good question

It's worked.

This is 100% by design. If you pay attention the kicker

Broda

9/17/14 7:06am

Correct. Bronco stated in one of the post game shows that it was by design.

Coug Eastwood

I like this philosophy, and it seems to have worked pretty well.

Seito107

9/17/14 7:54am

Pretty sure we had one at the Texas game...

thegoodmeister

9/17/14 7:38am

The more relevant stat is average starting position after KO - 22.5

ringfro

9/17/14 8:01am

Untill we give one up for a touchdown.

BYU's kickoffs have been excellent
