I was browsing through the season statistics and discovered a stat that, for the most part, is going unnoticed.
Our beloved kickoff strong leg, Joey Slye, has 20 kickoffs season to date, with 18 touchbacks - or 90% of his kickoffs result in a touchback. The only two this season that were returned were by Boston College, and we all know how that game worked out. Most of his kicks are going out of the back of the endzone. Further, his average distance per kickoff is up 5 yards over what it was in 2014 and 2 yards over last year.
This is largely setting up the defense for success, given the opponents specials teams have had little opportunity to make a return to set the offense up in good field position. With a long field ahead of them for the opponent, Foster can certainly add a little more mystery to his schemes.
Keep on kicking on, Joey.
