An improvement from last year?

About the same?

Back to greatness?

Yea I actually think the average yards per return will be better :D.

Maybe, I didn't like Iggy as a return man. I was surprised to see Dominique Franks taking Broyles spot on punt returns. Maybe the coaches know something we don't.

i like to see us have a chance at 40+yd FGs

other than that, i think we tightened up enough on coverage last year

great returns are just icing :D

I agree about Iggy. He was great at getting to the 40 or 50 but didn't have the elite speed to break one. The only think I can figure is Franks is reliable and doesn't take too many chances but Broyles is a home threat (i.e Baylor)

I'll be really pissed off if we give up 50+ yard returns at the clip of around 1 per game like last year.

I for one hope they are MUCH improved over last year. Didn't we have 4 returned for TD's? in 1 year??? I know we kicked off alot but dang!

iggy was pretty dang fast

I didn't say he wasn't. I just don't think he had what it takes to be a really productive return man.

It can't be worse than last year.

Dom has the speed, but your players with that Sooner Magic to them will outshine speed any day of the week on KO returns. Franks has been really good at corner, but par at best in the flashy, exciting returnman dept.

Broyles, Murray, Madu are our best threats in the open field. It's a shame we won't see a Murray/Broyles KOR tandem.

I like Dom at punt returner. Everytime he touches the ball the dude scores. He has a nose for the endzone and i can't wait to see him back there. Sure he's not flashy (i.e. broyles murray) but he will run hard and fast...damn fast at that.

You have to figure STs will improve overall. We did have a good kick return game last year and I hope that continues w/o using DM to get it done.

We lucked out last year because ST ended up not being a factor and I'm sure that won't happen 2 years in a row.

You know that one play? The one where we kick it and the other guy for the other team gets it and runs it back for a touchdown? That's kind of a bad play. I hope we get rid of it.

We need Russell Dennison back. My dad and I used to always watch him motor downfield on every kickoff. He always looked like he wanted to rip somebody's head off. I think Tom Wort could've been that guy this year... :(
