Odd stat trivia

Okay, don't look this up. 2009 Gopher trivia.

The Gophers have forced 27 punts this season in six games. The Gophers lead the Big Ten in punt return average at 19 yards per return. Of those 27 forced punts over six games, how many actual returns make up the 19 yard average???

Again, don't look it up!

How many punt returns do the Gophers have in six games??? Guesses???

One. Bryant Allen's return against Northwestern. And I didn't have to look it up.

 

[Schnoodler]

I'm going to say three, with none since Allen's near decapitation.

 

[DiehardGopher]

I am going to say 1. Bryant Allen loves to fair catch.

 

[VACTERL]

Yea I can only recall one. And I commented on it in the game thread!

Wish he would return more after all the preseason hype!!

 

[tjgopher]

The correct answer is three (3).

Bryant Allen has two returns (one of 22-yards and one of 8-yards). Marcus Sherells has one (a 27-yarder vs. Syracuse).

So, out of 27 punts we have returned three. That's remarkable.

 

[wait!what?]

Purdue 7 yd punt should not be counted.

so...what did I win??

so...what did I win??

You win a prize package worth well over $0!! You missed part of it, though. You said none since Allen's decapitation. Actually, he had one against Northwestern, which was after the guillotine shot vs. Cal.

Good job on the guess, though!

 

[Schnoodler]

yessss

Purdue 7 yd punt should not be counted.

It isn't counted because there was no return. They only count punts that are returned in the punt return avg.
