One thing to note...
A-Rob's status as starter on the two deep means NOTHING. They would be dumb to not list him there because of his injury and make it easy for Iowa not to prepare for him.

Same can be said about punt returning and not listing O'Connell. Make Iowa prepare for McDowell and LJ before anything else.
Do you honestly think Iowa prepares any differently for O'Connell than the do McDowell or LJ? It is punt coverage. The scheme is the same for everyone minus a Devin Hester.
McConnell or something. Dude looked like a linebacker out there but was fast and shifty and was a shoestring tackle away from taking one to the house! :yes:
Was LJ dinged up as well Saturday? Why didn't handle the return duties?
I did like watching Mike return the ball against SDSU.

Hopefully JJ can work his way up, he looked pretty explosive Saturday night - nice to see him break a few big runs in I.C.
He was returning kick offs as far as I remember. He also played out at corner, but he seems to be playing out of position a bit too much for my liking.
I think we're going to be missing Kennard a lot
What is the difference in skills needed from a punt returner vs a kick-off returner?
One requires a big set of kahona's, the other requires an even bigger set! :biglaugh:
This is just my opinion, but I see Punt Returner's has being more shifty. Having better movement side to side
Kick Returners can have just straight speed. Now obviously the really good ones have both (Hester, Dante Hall, etc) but a lot of times you see a different punt returner in than a kick returner.
I am trying to think of the last time where we had somebody do both?
