12th man

Was it Arkansas that used to use 11 walk-ons for kickoff coverage? All the guys did was practice kickoff coverage all week and didn't play on any other downs. Maybe Clemson should try that.

Sorry to pick on a sore spot after such a great victory. I've just been thinking about that. Also I wonder if like back in the 80's if there is some guy on the soccer team that could just kick the ball out of the endzone on kickoffs?

But it used to be 11 students on kickoff coverage. I found this on wikipedia.

"In the 1980s, Jackie Sherrill created the "12th Man Kickoff Team" composed of regular students who tried out for the team instead of players who were recruited, as is the normal practice in college football. These students were placed on the roster for the sole purpose of running the kickoffs. Currently one "walk-on" player represents the Texas A&M student body each game, and wears uniform number 12.

The 12th Man has evolved into a tradition at Texas A&M. The Texas A&M student body acts as the "12th Man" for the football team and stands throughout the entire game, ready to help the team should the need arise (now through the use of "yells" led by Yell Leaders, in an effort to pump the team up)."
