What has been the average field position after we kickoff? How many TD's have we given up?

I don't know the average opponent starting position. It has to be somewhere over 20. I'd guess around 23 (for our non-penalized kickoffs)
If that's the case. the 2 penalties put us at an average of 24.3.
Those penalties are absolute momentum killers though. We beat Bama in 2014 if we don't kick that out of bounds.
No need to risk it for an extra .7 yards.

Opponents' average starting field position after kickoffs is the 22. That includes touchbacks and penalties for going out of bounds.

It's actually about the 20 yard line.
