Nick Saban can't coach kickers...Brian Kelly can't Coach punt returners.


Last season he just gave up finding anyone to add some yards after fielding a punt.

LSU has used more sure handed returners when stationed back deep to receive, but Chad Jones was not an automatic fair catch and Trindon Holliday was an actual threat when receiving punts & kick offs.

If you can’t find a true threat to break off a long return at least find a sure handed returner that will get you a couple of yards every time and possibly 5 to 10 yards every now & then. We just started waiving a surrender flag on punt returns.

Why hype Anderson up then not start him there?


No the question is…why play him at all on special teams? He’s trash.

I don't think Clayton Jr. has dropped a punt in the last 2 seasons.


He fell on his back reaching up to his face to catch the first punt. Give him credit for catching it, but that had disaster written all over it and he got replaced for the next punt.
