Williamson's kickoffs carry 3.6 yards farther than Ukropina's (64.1 to 60.5). Williamson's touchback percentage is 48.8%, compared to 9.5% for Ukropina. The coaches have not said whether Williamson will be healthy enough to kick off in the Rose Bowl.
A buddy and I had a running bet on whether Ukropina would be able to get his kicks into the end zone. At the time it seemed like he would never get it that far. Looking at these numbers though, it seems like it wasn't that big of an impact. Thanks for the great info.
