Craig Burns and Tommy Casanova returning multiple punts on reverses was awesome! Especially against Ole MRs.

94. 96 was a day game in the slop during a downpour.

Best punt returns?


I'm biased but Skyler Green's punt return against Florida in '03 is still my favorite punt return. Understand we did nothing the rest of the game but that was the first punt return touchdown I witnessed in Tiger Stadium and was something to watch.

Todd Kinchen against Kentucky in 1991 doesn’t get mentioned enough. He went 74 yards, one week after going 73 yards against Arkansas State.

That time Greg Clayton caught it and went forward 3 yards was pretty epic. One of the best in several years. ...


The frustrating thing about this is that I don’t believe anyone thinks we tried or valued having an explosive return team. Why? I have no idea why BK has seemingly not valued return teams.

Think about all the dudes people are naming in this thread… they were all basically the best or one of the most explosive athletes on the entire team.

Kennison, Holiday, Skyler, OBJ, Dominic Davis, Chark, Honey Badger, Pat Pete, and on and on.. weren’t they all basically the most explosive or one of the most explosive on the team?

Obviously having one of your most explosive athletes returning must be high on the requirement list of having a good return team. So why after 2 fumbles was Malik done? Why after 1 (?) fumble was Anderson done? By the end of or middle of the year, would we not have been way better off?

Malik, Brian Thomas, Diggs, Jackson, Holly, Josh Williams, shite… probably a safety or two and even a TE (Pimpton) were more explosive than f’ing Grey Clayton.

Really odd, BK’s inablilty to take advantage of the dogs we have always had that can turn a game around with this unit.

Kickoffs - my comments are the same with BK.

Todd Kinchen perfected the punt return at LSU. What Kinchen did to Aggie was glorious.

He currently holds an NFL record with two punt return touchdowns against the 49ers in a single game, which he shares with 13 other players
