Also note that Bryce Love isn't listed on either kick return team. When I spoke to him at Media Day, he said, "I know I'm returning kickoffs, and I hope to return punts." I think this is a good thing, assuming we can still get decent production there.

Do you think that indicates a change of heart by the coaching staff that will remain in place for the entire season, a desire to limit the possibility of injury in a game where we shouldn't need his explosiveness at KR (but he'll return there against SC), or something else?  I wouldn't think we'd be playing games with the depth chart against Rice, so I don't expect to see him returning anything in Sydney.

I expect this is just caution. I also expect Love will not return kickoffs all the time. They will put him back there when they think the ends justifies the risk. How that decision is made, I don't know for sure, but that is what I expect to happen. If one of the other options emerges as really good, that may change.
