But no chance for a turnover

This year, BYU has benefited more from turnovers created on kickoffs than they have been hurt by long returns on kickoffs. And the opponents average starting position is behind the 25. Seems like the strategy is working this year so far.

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

Turnovers more common than TD returns

No offense to Bronco, but that's dumb.

Why is it dumb?

most obvious reason

Trying to evaluate that proposition

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

I think we had 1 vs. UT

Touchbacks would hurt our opp. ave starting position

ManicBlue

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 ...

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

swingcat

9/17/14 2:05am

Good question

ManicBlue

They're hoping for more fumbles???

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.

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

Seito107

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

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

ringfro

Untill we give one up for a touchdown.

BYU's kickoffs have been excellent
