Gophers’ kickoff specialist Dragan Kesich has booted 15 touchbacks in 17 attempts in the first two games. “He’s very talented,” Fleck said. “He kicked one off his toe, and he miss hit it badly, and he kicked it to the six-yard line. I mean I would have prayed for the six-yard line a few years ago.”

It is one of those things that get overlooked but essentially eliminating the other teams kickoff return is a huge weapon. A long KO return can quickly flip the field and put a team in a great field position.

Not even touchbacks… but even if a guy wanted to run those back they couldn’t. They have been deep in the end zone.
