No surprise here, but UT is almost double the next to last team, 42 yds/return compared to 28 yds/return.

Wow. Tennessee, Vandy, Memphis.

Maybe it's just something in the water in this state.

i dont know...this is a bit skewed, we have played the toughest schedule in the first three games in all of college football...against two of the best play makers in the nation.

True, but we will probably make a few more guys look like all-americans by the time this years is done.

We will not be surprised if there is a new special teams coach next year on staff. Two of three games that began with momentum building kick returns, that knocks the wind out of us. It's even worse when it happens away and just build on the existing momentum in the away stadiums.

The nice thing is that our staff publicly acknowledged how inept the Special Teams played in 2005 and vowed to fix it.

Just look at how far we've come!!!

The special teams play alone is worthy of a coaching change. It's beyond unacceptable, and it's been that way for years.

i thought there were 119 teams, too...

guess somebody decided to save some ink since it doesn't make much sense to rank tennessee at #118 AND #119...

Hate to bring it up.......but Middle Tenn St. is currently 12th, and they've played 2 Top 10 teams as well.

for those wondering why there's only 118 teams listed, a little reading would have helped.
