I’ve been frustrated with the Gopher’s lack of punt returns this season, so I looked into the statistics. Currently, our opponents have punted 38 times and we only have attempted 3 returns. In nearly every punt that I’ve paid attention, our opponent’s gunners are unblocked and are free to destroy Bryant Allen if he does not call for a fair catch. With the emphasis on special teams, why is it that we can’t advance our field position more often?
Interestingly, 3 attempted returns is last place in D1A football, but our average per return (19.0 yards) is first place in D1A football.
