Stat of the Day...Mind Blowing

So, practice is underway. Thank goodness. Just glancing over the media guide today, I came across a staggering stat. I know we all hated seeing Logan back there to receive punts, but couldn't really put it into words. We knew he wouldn't fumble, but we knew he wasn't a weapon. Did it matter that much?

We have been keeping punt return yardage since 1950 -- 61 years. It list the top punt returner for each year in yardage. In 61 seasons, we have had 5 seasons in which we had a punt returner amass more than 400 yards in a season. This will blow your mind:

2002 - SEC Champs
2005 - SEC Champs
1980 - SEC & National Champs
1968 - SEC Champs & Dooley's "Other" National Championship team
1971 - 11-1 Gator Bowl Champs

Are you kidding me? Richt's 2 SEC titles, Probably Dooley's 2 best teams, at least 2 of his best 3 or 4, and an 11-1 team. In the regular season, those 5 included 2 undefeated teams, 2 one loss teams, and 1 two loss teams.

That's unbelievable. Here's to having one guy back there who is dangerous. BTW, the 2 guys in '68 and '80 were Jake Scott and Scott Woerner, 2 of our best players on the team. Scott was the best player, and Woerner was the best defender we had. Here's to either Branden Smith or Brandon Boykin finishing with 467 punt return yards.

Go Dawgs!
Beat Boise!
Eat Moore Hors!
