Here are the average yards each team has given up on punt returns through three games.

OK, we're dead last. Not a complete shocker there, but look at the gap from us to other teams. On average, we give up more than double the team sitting at #30.

We've given up more punt return yards on AVERAGE than seven teams in the NFL have given up TOTAL through three games.

We've done slightly better on kickoff coverage. We are at 31st overall (28.3 yards per return) ahead of the Oakland Raiders. So at least we're not dead last there :mad2:

I had to work during the Dallas game(thank God} I did however catch the start and some of the 3rd qtr. I got to see two 3 and outs with Dallas returning the punts for what seemed like forever. League average looks like 8 -9 yds per return, but 27.3? It's a punt return not a kickoff return! This puts the defense in a hole right off the bat and neutralizes anything the offense may have gained in the prior possession. I see no speed on ST at all, they are just running right by us.

Baker has good distance but alot of his kicks have been low line drives with no hang time and that completely screws your coverage. I'm not saying it's all his fault, it goes way beyond a few bad punts (as the failure on kickoff coverage proves) but he's not exactly helping things either.

Seriously, at this point I'd just tell him to kick the ball out of bounds every time. Even if we lose 10 yards on the punt by angling it out of bounds that's still better than giving up 25-30 yard returns every time.

This... Baker's been off too. I'm a huge fan of his, and think he's a great punter, buteven he's been a factor in our overall piss-poorness.

      Not football related, but UNC basketball player Seth Trimble used his NIL money to buy the Ben & Jerry's franchise on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. https://www.tarheelblog.com/unc-basketball/46475/seth-trimble-now-owns-ben-jerrys-in-chapel-hill Definitely a smarter move than buying a Lambo.

      2025 College Football Thread

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I was bored at work today so I typed up my ideas for CFB realignment: D1 college football would be split into 2 tiers of 5 conferences each: Power 5 (P5) and Group of 5 (G5) conferences. To bring the total number of FBS teams to an even 140, the following FCS teams would make the moved up into the G5 tier: North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Montana State and Sacramento State. The P5 tier would consist of 50 teams with 10 teams per conference. Every team would play every other team in it's conference every year. There would be no conference championship games in P5 tier since teams will play each other during the season to provide the head-to-head tie breaker. The G5 tier would consist of 90 teams in 5 conferences of 18 teams split into 2 divisions. Teams would play every team in their division every year along with teams from the other division on a rotating schedule. G5 conference championship games would be held the week following the Army-Navy game between the two division winners from each G5 conference. In the event that Army and Navy are the two division winners in the American conference, the Army-Navy game itself would decide the conference championship. P5 tier would retain the current 12-team playoff structure and seeding rules with the existing Bowl Game rotation remaining in place. G5 tier would use a 16-team playoff with conference champions guaranteed the top-5 seeds + homefield advantage in the 1st round. Seeds 6-16 would be decided by national rankings. Homefield advantage would be decided by seeding in the 2nd round with the G5 National Championship held at a neutral site. There would be a promotion/relegation system in place. Each P5 conference would have a satellite conference in the G5 as follows:  - ACC/American  - Big 10/MAC  - PAC/MWC  - SEC/Sun Belt  - SWC/C-USA Every 5 years the team in each P5 conference with the worst W-L record over the previous 5 seasons would be relegated to their conference's G5 satellite. Likewise, the team with the best W-L record during the previous 5 seasons will be moved up into the P5. Any other movement of teams between conferences would be subject to approval by the CFB Competition Committee and teams are only permitted to switch conferences once every 10 years. The Walter Camp Award will be awarded to the best player in P5 tier. The Maxwell Award will serve as the G5's equivalent award. The Heisman Trophy will be awarded to the best player in the nation, regardless of conference or tier. POWER 5 CONFERENCES: ACC: Clemson Duke Florida State Miami N.C. State North Carolina Pittsburgh South Carolina Virginia Tech West Virginia BIG 10: Illinois Indiana Iowa Michigan Michigan State Nebraska Notre Dame Ohio State Penn State Wisconsin PAC-10: Boise State BYU California Colorado Oregon Stanford UCLA USC Utah Washington SEC: Alabama Arkansas Auburn Florida Georgia Kentucky LSU Mississippi State Ole Miss Tennessee SWC: Arizona Arizona State Kansas State Missouri Oklahoma Oklahoma State SMU TCU Texas Texas A&M GROUP OF 5 CONFERENCES: AMERICAN: NORTH DIVISION: Army Boston College Connecticut Delaware Maryland Massachusetts Rutgers Syracuse Temple SOUTH DIVISION: Charlotte East Carolina James Madison Liberty Louisville Navy Old Dominion Virginia Wake Forest MAC: EAST DIVISION: Akron Bowling Green Buffalo Cincinnati Eastern Michigan Kent State Marshall Miami of Ohio Ohio WEST DIVISION: Ball State Central Michigan Iowa State Minnesota Northern Illinois Northwestern Purdue Toledo Western Michigan MWC: EAST DIVISION: Air Force Colorado State Montana State North Dakota State South Dakota State Tulsa UNLV Utah State UTEP WEST DIVISION: Fresno State Hawaii Nevada Oregon State Sacramento State San Diego State San Jose State Washington State Wyoming SUN BELT: EAST DIVISION: Appalachian State Coastal Carolina FAU FIU Georgia Southern Georgia Tech Kennesaw State UCF USF WEST DIVISION: Jacksonville State Middle Tennessee State South Alabama Southern Miss Troy Tulane UAB Vanderbilt Western Kentucky C-USA: EAST DIVISION: Arkansas State Houston Louisiana Louisiana Monroe Louisiana Tech Memphis Missouri State Rice Sam Houston State WEST DIVISION: Baylor Kansas New Mexico New Mexico State North Texas Texas State Texas Tech UTEP UTSA
