I'm convinced - Oregon has the best Special Teams in NCAA Football

[Targus]

ST's are momentum turners.

Oregon is crazy disciplined in blocking on punt/kickoff returns with speedy return men who have mad skills at finding lanes.

Huff and Harris are simply studs...

Oregon Ducks KR Yds Avg Lng TD PR Yds Avg Lng TD
Josh Huff 3 132 44.0 80 0 0 0 0.0 0 0
Cliff Harris 2 52 26.0 47 0 4 127 31.8 79 0

If not the best, there are none any better. I just wish we fumbled less.

 

[Targus]

LOL - true!

Hopefully we're getting those fumbles out of the system in the blowout games and we won't see them in the tight games!

Their return coverage could be a little better.

scary to think of the returners the Ducks have with Harris, Huff, and Barner.. unless he isnt gonna do returns anymore.

He might wait a few weeks, if at all, before doing returns again.

What's even more scary is we weren't using Barner in the return game for a while and we've been this good. I found it hilarious when the Huskies kept kicking off to Harris each time and he had a big return nearly every time, so then they tried to kick it to Huff instead and he almost took it to the house a couple of times.

Also as far as I know we've only given up one big punt return and I believe that was during the USC game. In my opinion our kick coverage has been above average.

I thought a couple of times that Harris could have scored, but he wasn't sure where to go.... like one time he was kind of just jogging along the sideline with his blockers because he wasn't sure where to go.

I'd like to see dominate coverage too because it seems like teams do get fairly good field position. But, as far as giving up the big plays, we look discipline.

Yeah, that's really all I care about. Keeping them from getting good position. USC's return man was shredding us.
