I was not at all surprised that Love was not listed as a kick off returner for the San Diego State game.

When Shaw mentioned that Love may even return some kickoffs this year, he said it in a way that made it clear to me at least, that it was something that would be saved for certain games. My guesses would be Oregon and Washington, and late games (even possibly Big Game) and the post season as needed.

Also, I could see Love never actually returning a kick off. It could just be away for pressuring the kicker to give Scarlett the ball in a favorable spot, and just generally to mess with their heads.  To my recollection, Stanford has unleashed some special teams surprises especially in tough, loud stadiums. A good kick off return can hush a crowd, and give a quieter atmosphere for the offense. Would seem especially helpful at Autzen and Husky Stadium.
