I miss a Les Miles punt return team.

how many has he muffed? He’s the only person I trust fielding punts because everyone else has put the ball on the ground

Although true, BK has failed miserably with our punt return team. We have talented guys and speed, yet we have zero threat for the 2nd year in a row at that position. A coaching change was made and we have the same results where we don't even try anything after a nightmare first game like last year in the return game.

Clayton as the punt catcher reminds me of 2006 when Chevis Jackson was the punt catcher

It’s not like LSU’s D is going to force many punts this season

This season he has 2 for 35 yards.

There's no excuse you can't find one guy out from the whole team to catch a punt cleanly



Clayton hasn’t muffed a punt all year.

He got one shot? I would put him out there again, but understand cause it’s so rare that our defense makes them punt and definitely can’t afford to give it right back.

Aaron Anderson was supposed to be our threat. BK hyped him up in camp as an explosive returner. He got 1 chance, admittedly he botched it but that was the first and last chance he got. Right back to Clayton and the non-return game.


Many media reports before the season about Anderson bobbling or fumbling punts. I returned punts. You don’t have hand placement above your shoulders when receiving it. That’s exactly the hand placement he had on the fumble vs FSU. It wasn’t just the one drop that got him shown the sideline.
