Should I be worried about KO returns? Just asking, and hopefully will feel stupid later for doing so.

Ours or our opponents?  Doesn't matter, the answer to both is a resounding NO.

True last year.  We did lose our ST coach.

The thing is, we were SO good last year that we could take a slight decrease in ST excellence and still be really, really good.  Its fun to watch the Vols run back kickoff and punts again.  This was an area of excellence in the early 80's when I moved to Knoxville. Willie Gault in particular.

In fact, I think last year was finally a season Cafego would be proud of.  About time!

Actually, we have a different coach for each of the four STs.  One person has the title, Elder last year and Scott this year.  I have heard VERY good things about Scott's approach to STs.

Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.

I trust Coach Scott. We have had fantastic coverage and return units.

The thread was sparked by a little preseason paranoia. There was a story, apparently just a rumor, of a significant injury, and rather than repeat the aforementioned tale, figured I'd hint at it.
