08:14 AM ET 08.30 | Oklahoma has been waiting years for a game-breaking return man, and the Sooners were about to open this season without an experienced hand to field punts. Then, one dropped out of the sky. Justin Brown's punt returning skills rank behind his receiving talents on the list of most important ways the Penn State transfer will help the Sooners. But they're still significant. Not since Antonio Perkins set an NCAA record with three punt-return touchdowns in one game against UCLA have the Sooners had a game-breaker in that spot. ... This week, coach Bob Stoops announced the senior will return punts. Brown returned 42 the last three seasons, averaging 7.0 yards. OU's next most experienced returner: Kenny Stills (6.0 yards on nine career returns).

We'll know if he is damaged goods if he wants to take warm showers with his team mates until the wee hours of the morning.

It was 8.1 lst year and was 31st in the country....not bad for a WR.

Don't forget, some of those returns are FairCatch which is 0 yds....

That's true, was thinking that college did not figure in fair catches for yards per return. Then all they have to do is play UCLA then. : )

With rumors swirling that ATT Uverse is about to add LHN, aggys came out in force flooding ATT with threats to cancel service if they add the channel.

Wonder if they did the same with BTN and the Mountain Network?
