I don't put it all on the returner their blocking (or lack of) scheme stinks.

Call it what it is: ND isn't interested in big punt returns, just not losing the ball I get it

2018.....#56 at 9.80 yds per return. 2019.........#54 at 8.44 yds per return. 2020...........#42 at 9.14 yds per return. How many home run balls? How many fair catches? Maybe these numbers don't really mean all that much, but, why is Bama successful when it comes to this? The "game" apparently should have changed for them also. What gives?

They play to win -- ND and Co..play not to lose. BK isn't changing that anytime soon unfortunately.
