Punt Return-U
Posted on 8/11/14 at 3:26 pm to toughcrittercrumb
Don't know the exact years, but they were before Eddie Kennison a bit. Todd Kinchen was good and returned punts in the NFL. Just a little guy but I remember T Casanova and C Burns in the Ole Miss game in 1970.

Xavier Carter kneeled down on the 1 yard line.

Yeah, Kinchen was in the late 80s. I wanted to put him on the list but I couldn't figure out who played after him and before Kennison. Lol!

that was a kick off. might seem like semantics, but even with that impressive list, LSU has not returned a kick off at home for a TD since like '81 or 82...

That's hard to believe with all of the great returners that we have had.

and at absolutely the wrong time in the game to do so.

Yup, I remember that. 
Posted on 8/11/14 at 8:19 pm to toughcrittercrumb
So who is it this year? Hmmmmmm???
Posted on 8/11/14 at 9:39 pm to toughcrittercrumb
FTR - '06 wasn't a good yr for punt returns. Chevis Jackson began the season as our PR and flailed around for the most part. Buster looked pretty good later on in the season. I don't recall Early returning many punts. Refresh my memory.
ETA: I'm sounding way too negative. Great post by the OP and yes we've had a run of some incredible returners.
As others have noted, one could add:
Todd Kinchen
Norman Jefferson (pretty sure he took one to the house vs OM in Miss. Memorial Stadium in '83 in a losing effort - his return was still awesome.)
Tracey Porter
Craig Burns/Casanova

Is Doucet the only one on that list without a return for a TD?
Also still remember Mo Claiborne's KO return for a score vs WVU. Killed their momentum real quick like.

2014 - Adams?

One of the morning shows discussed this yesterday. Basically if you can return punts for LSU then you are an NFL caliber guy. I can't disagree based on this list.
