    No punt returns last night

    There is no doubt in my mind that Dettrick Thomas secured our win in a lackluster performance against against UMass. I know that sometimes it was an adventure watching him field some punts, yet Gabe Myles was "Mr. Faircatch" last night. I don't remember him in the WR rotation much at all and haven't read the stats to see if he had a catch. What was the deal? Afraid for D. Thomas to field punts from their rugby style punter or "Senior NIght Syndrome" for Myles to replace him. Just wondering what y'all think. Maybe Thomas had a bad "week" at practice but he played well last night when we got the ball to him. Hail State!

    I absolutely think Mullen put him in there and told him to fair catch it everytime

    My thoughts also. Play it safe instead of letting a D. Thomas maybe make a play. Also, is Todd our best option on KO returns?

    My question was why Myles instead of Thomas.

    The last one. Crowd (what was left) actually booed when Myles fair caught it.
