Interesting Special Teams development

Rogers to return punts:Sophomore Austin Rogers has won the battle to be Tennessee’s punt returner for Saturday’s season opener against California.

Rogers, a David Lipscomb product, beat out Jonathan Hefner and Lucas Taylor during recent practices.

Rogers will also likely see the field Saturday as a wide receiver. He is currently fifth on the Vols’ depth chart.

You talk about a motor. That kid can fly and make great cuts. I look for him to have a stellar UT career.

Just hold on to the ball, Austin, just hold on to the ball.

Yes, it would be nice to have a threat back there that didn't give everybody a shutter every time he actually fielded a punt. We have been on the wrong side of the risk/reward ratio of punt returns for some time.

Have only read postive things about Rogers. Hope this trend continues tomorrow night.

 

[tidwell]

Exactly... that's why I will consider a fair catch a successful punt return.

i remember when he caught his only pass last yr. i was in shock that we had a white reciever. when was the last time we had that? when benji shuler was there?

craig faulkner...way back when, but he was one of my favorites. benji shuler doesn't count...jmo

I also heard that Rogers is the most sure handed when it comes to fielding punts.

And yes, Craig Faulker was and is the man.

I desperately need a #4 Faulkner and/or a #52 Duff throwback jersey.

Maybe he didn't hear about it until recently.

Solid, disciplined, special teams play would be so nice.....I would love to have the Vols dominate field position.
