That's what I was thinking

A Jamie Harper 2.0 at the GA Dome would be about the perfect situation for Auburn.
I'm thinking you have to put a guy like Nuke and Brown back there...don't need anything stupid happening.

That's why i like him as a returner. The joe don thing was a "white guy kick returner" joke, but all kidding aside, he seems to be pretty sure-handed, and thats priority number 1 for a returner imo.

I would play it safe versus Auburn and put Nuk back there.
Aug 7, 2012, 2:14 PM

I wouldn't put a player back there that had never done it in a college game before. A muffed punt without Sammy to bring us back could be a huge momentum swing that could be too tough to recover from.

This is true

But if one player affects the outcome of games that much. The coaches may want to rethink recruiting as well as their game planning and ability to coach.

I prefer to see Peake & Bryant on KR and Nuk on PR....
Aug 7, 2012, 2:35 PM
|

Not trying to hurt Peake or Bryant, but they can take the extra hits more than Sammy or AE. I only put Nuk out there for punts because I think he has the most sured hands on the team.

There is no way I put Ellington back there to take extra hits. TO valuable to the Offense.
I would bet Hopper is back there game 1. Didnt Sammy and or Bellamy start game 1 last year?

Nobody will be returning kickoffs. Since the kicks have been moved up, 90% will be touchbacks.
