good job Jake!...for years Spiders fans, including myself have watched kickoffs shaped like softball flys, pooched or squibbed because we could not consistently kick it deep...invariably it seemed the opponent was beginning their offensive drives from very good field position...often this made it real tough on the defense...

during the first two wins something different seems to be happening consistently...Jake Larson is kicking it deep consistently...in the two opening games he has kicked off 13 times with 6 Touchbacks...the longest return of the other kicks is 23 yards...I don't recall a single kick going out of bounds...

Larson's kicking has had our opponents starting at their own 25 on the touchbacks and sometimes inside the 25 on those kicks which could be returned...

I hope he's able to sustain this type of kicking as the season progresses...upcoming opponents will have a much stronger return team...touchbacks take away a valuable opposition tool...

Go Spiders!
