They're punting. Time to grab a snack.
Hold on a minute.
Here are six players who turn punts and kickoffs into must-see plays, including two who will be on display Saturday when No. 4 TCU plays No. 6 Utah.
Brandon Boykin, Georgia.The sophomore cornerback returned three kickoffs for touchdowns last season. It took him half the season to get on the scoreboard this year, but he went 100 yards for a score against Kentucky to match an SEC career record with four kickoff TDs.
Cliff Harris, Oregon. As if the Ducks needed more ways to score. The sophomore defensive back and the fastest player on a team full of fast guys has returned three punts for touchdowns in only 18 returns this season.
Damaris Johnson, Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane's do-it-all receiver returned a punt 59 yards for a touchdown against Notre Dame and now has at least one special teams return touchdown in each of his three seasons as Tulsa. He averages 25.44 yards on kick returns and 12.68 on punt returns.
Jeremy Kerley, TCU. The Horned Frogs' receiver averages 28.13 yards per kick returns and 13.50 on punts. He's hasn't scored with one yet, but he brought back two punts for TDs last season. As good as Kerley is, he might not even be the best returner on the field at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Tony Logan, Maryland. The former high school quarterback-turned-receiver for the Terps is second in the nation in punt returns. He scored in consecutive games this season, bringing one back 85 yards against FIU and another 84 yards for a score against Duke. His 21.25-yard average per return is second in nation.
Shaky Smithson, Utah. It's shaky as in shake-n-bake when this senior receiver gets the ball in his hands. He leads the nation in punt returns, averaging 23.3 yards. He's brought two back for TDs this season, including a start-and-stop 77-yarder against UNLV.
