Ironically, I'd wager this year actually brought his rank down a couple spots.
EDIT: Goodness, I'm glad nobody actually bet me on this...we were #8 this year in ST S&P+. Somehow. I have no idea how.
Toner was money this year, which helps.
Punt return unit was #49 in yards per punt return.
Punt return coverage unit was #27, allowing ~5 yards per punt return on average and just 1 TD, which is pretty good.
#20 in net yards per punt overall, which is also pretty good.
Kick return unit was #43 in yards per kick return.
OUR KICKOFF COVERAGE UNIT WAS DEAD LAST IN THE NATION. We allowed 33.2 yards per return (on only 5 returns, to be fair). This was ~2 yards more than second-to-last Georgia, and over 7 full yards more than third-to-last UAB. Absolutely dreadful. Hey, full-time ST coach, what's up with this one?
How in the world do the above numbers add up to #8????
