(early) Chart Friday

With the talk about the punt return strategy for 2010 and 2011, I figured I'd take another look at how ND did fielding punts in 2010. Here's the breakdown of what happened the 79 times the opponent attempted to punt the ball against ND last season.

Interestingly (or not), Allen fair caught 5 of the 7 punts he fielded, for a 71% fair catch rate. Goodman fair caught 25 of his 38 punts, for 66%. Blanton had 1 return, which he tried to return. Jackson had 2 returns and fair caught both.

25 of the opponents 79 punt attempts ended up inside ND's 20 yard line, for 32%. That seems high, but I don't really have a frame of reference.
