PRE: Punt Return Efficiency, the scoring value generated per opponent punt.

The FSU football special teams were terrible in this category, yes even worse than last year when they were No. 99 nationally. This season they were No. 123

The ‘Noles did improve their punt return average from 4.54 to 7.41 when compared to last year.

Do you want to know how many yards opposing teams averaged against FSU on punt returns?

Opposing teams averaged 18.60 yards per punt return against FSU.

That’s absurd.

There’s no reason for a team like FSU to be ranked this low with the talent they have on the roster. It has to be a matter of coaching and making sure guys stay in their lanes on punt returns, and blocking the gunners of opposing teams on punt return opportunities.
