Atkins has 105 touchbacks in 124 attempts 84%

Potter (Clemson) has 74 in 95 attempts 78%


I thought that was an interesting stat

The possibility of an onside kick is probably the only reason kickoffs are still part of the game.

Even balls that are returnable often aren't.

9 kickoffs per game is absurd

We’re sitting here with a video game offense

Atkins is such an underrated asset. Dude is probably the 4th or 5th best player on the team. If there was a Heisman for touchbacks he would’ve run away with it

Clemson always pulls their starters pretty early and we never score much after that. That is why I think 4Q statistical comparisons vs Clemson are pretty pointless (and said the same to OSU fans).

Our kicker has the mentality of a Safety.

That's like 5 miles of kicks for Atkins.
