KE: Kickoff Efficiency, the scoring value generated per kickoff.

The FSU Football team did pretty well in the Kickoff Efficiency category. The team checked in at No. 17 nationally and were No. 16 last season.

Basically this means that opponents had very little chance to return a kickoff for a touchdown. True freshman Logan Tyler has a huge leg and showed it of most of the time, kicking the ball deep or out of the end zone.

Tyler had 57 touchbacks which was good for 63 percent of the time. Last season, Roberto Aguayo had touchbacks on kickoffs 55.95 percent of the time (47 touchbacks).

Aguayo was special in that he could kick it deep or make the ball land at the one yard line or on the goal line to force a return. That would allow FSU to get down field and get the tackle well before the 25 yard line which obviously was valuable field position for the defense.
