Looking at the box score from the OSU v. UNLV game on ESPN, it seems (with the exception of Parris' near score on a kickoff after the safety) that the return game was not great against a low level D1 team. Wondering if Demario is still hampered by the groin injury, as he did not look shifty or explosive in his 2 kickoff returns.
I would expect a kickoff return average of >25 yards (OSU's is artifically high due to Parris' long return), and a punt return average of ~10 yds. vs. a team like UNLV.
Here's the stats:
Kickoff returns:
Parris Campbell - 1 for 82 yds
Demario McCall - 2 for 29 yds (14.5 yd avg.)
Antonio Williams - 1 for 13 yds (13 yd avg.)
Punt returns:
Demario McCall - 1 for 7 yds
KJ Hill - 1 for 0 yds (fair catch)
3 punts were kicked out of bounds.
What should be by the coaches done to improve these results going forward?
