    Do you not see what he is saying?

    LSU has punted 17 times this season. LSU's opponents have a combined 6 yards of punt return yardage. When you divide 6 by 17, you get 0.35 (when rounded to 2 digits).

    Louisville has punted 12 times this season. Louisville's opponents have a combined 5 yards of punt return yardage. When you divide 5 by 12, you get 0.42 (when rounded).

    Man I really thought when the UGA guy muffed the punt backwards about ten yards that we were going to end up in the negative return yards for the year. I guess that's not how they calculate it though.

    I was thinking the same thing, but I believe he called a fair catch before muffing it. The ball was spotted where he recovered it (for zero return yards.) Will take that every time.

    I thought the same thing, then looked it up on yahoo and it still showed 0 yards.

    He would have had to gain control of the ball, fumble it and then the yardage backwards would have counted. But not a muff apparently.

    FYI, we gave up a 7 yard return to Kentucky when the first man whiffed on the tackle. Otherwise, it would have been -1 yards returned on the season.
