[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 237856, member: 77"] Rankings can be deceiving, especially when the degree of separation between teams within a particular ranking in so minuscule. We ranked tied for 100 with our opponents averaging 23.16 ypko. If we improve that stat by a mere 1 yard to 22.16, we jump from 100 all the way to 81. If we improve it another yard, we jump to 61. So that begs the question, how much better would our record have been if we had allowed two less yards per kickoff? 39 rank places in your analysis means what, exactly? Clemson ranked below us at 116. How much did it hurt them? Give me a touchback every kick if you please. There's another consideration to make. Every team in that ranking do not face the same competition, the same returners, the same kickoff block teams. Then there's end of half/game squib kicks and the occasional sky kick (which I assume is where our fair catches came from.) What do you think our strategy should be on kick offs? Sky to the one and cover? If we could cover, I'd love to do this. But I'd rather give it to them on the 25 with no chance of a big return with the team we have now. [/QUOTE]
