re: Fair catch on kickoffs

quote:

---

It's been clear all year that LSU believes in it's offense enough that we simply don't take any risks on kickoffs. This is the reason Helaire is back there...ball security. There are more explosive players on our team but none that we trust at handling the ball as much as CEH. If the ball is inside the 5, we fair catch every time. Next year that may change a bit. Would not be surprised to see Palmer and one of the true freshmen back there next year.

They've started putting Kirklin back there with CEH, just hanging out.

We've got one in the bag if needed I think. Maybe a lateral from CEH over to JK.

A) if needed, and only if needed
B) only if they see enough on film where the chances of success dramatically go up. That might be lulling teams into complacency when they have a kicker that gets lots of fair catches but not out of the back of the endzone.
