[quote author=Gauss link=topic=13779.msg144469#msg144469 date=1448804008]As a parting, unrelated thought, I really wish the kick-off return yards were counted starting on the 25 yard line (a return to the 28-yard line gives you 3 APY, and a return to the 21 yard-line gives you -4 APY due to your poor judgement/skills, similar to a TFL). That would make all-purpose yards a much better reflection of how much production the player is bringing in, and way more meaningful in my eyes (probably in most people's eyes too).

A touchback isn't always an option. Look at just the last game, the ND returner took that first one to the house, but a bunch of his other kicks were fielded at the 5 and returned to the 15. McCaffrey was often fielding the ball outside the end zone and getting to the 25-30. That's a good return, other than his first the ND returner was mostly not that good.

What you say is true, but the graphic during the telecast indicated that that was his second KOR for a TD and that he also has a punt return for a TD.  I think our containment of the damage he did after that first return reflects well on our KO team's adjustments.
