Herm Edwards suggested that he, a media member and a sports information director could have matched Arizona State's punt return highs for 2017.
That exaggeration aside, it's clear Edwards expects more out of punt returns than a 6.05-yard average, No. 89 nationally. He wants something more than like 2016 when Tim White was No. 7 nationally and ASU was No. 28 (10.2-yard average).
Last season, the Sun Devils had only two punt returns over 10 yards (16 and 11) and in six of 13 games finished with no punt-return yards.
Brandon Aiyuk and Isaiah Floyd, incoming junior-college signees, will get a crack at punt and kickoff return.
