    Possibly a record for all time, not sure

    17 punt returns for 6 yards total by our opponents

    0.35 yards per return

    12.6 inches per return (that's what she said.....I can't let Tiga have that one, sorry)

    Brad Wing, you are a true hero. Well done, mate!

    A HUGE reason we're undefeated. Short field for our offense and forcing teams to move from deep on their side of the field have led to many of our points.

    Four more quarters!!!! (Hopefully we won't have to punt much.)

    Brad Wing actually helped turn the game in our favor yesterday.

    That punt for over 60 yards pinning Georgia back at the 13 was the first time LSU had gained the upper hand in field position.

    It was all downhill from there for Georgia.

    aussies would say "goodonya"

    best thru 07. but id guess its not a record since louisville has allowed fewer return yards this year (1 fewer yard in 1 fewer game.)

    you would be incorrect, mr half glass empty

    LSU finished with a .35 avg and Louisville .42

    Dems the facts

    Spin it any way you want from there, it won't change anything

    im not incorrect. ul 5 oppt return yds. lsu 6.

    cfbstats.com - 2011 National Team Leaders

    lsu has the record for this year so far. it may be the best ever but it would be a coincidence that another team was so close the same year and no other team in the history of cfb ever beat it.

    I'm saying .35 vs .42 (the average is what LSU finished first in)

    You're arguing how many yards we gave up on the year. That's not what this thread is about.

    Maybe I should have titled my thread clearly.

    Oh wait, I did.

    Cool isn't it? I hadn't realized it was that dominating until it was brought to my attention. One foot?? :grin:

    Gotta love it.

    Field position makes HUGE difference and his role has been immense.
