LSU looking to eliminate 'hidden yardage' on punt returns

Following Saturday's 35-26 win over Syracuse, LSU coach Ed Orgeron talked about "hidden yardage" that the Tigers gave up because of punt returns bouncing over returner D.J. Chark's head.

On Monday, he had a number for that hidden yardage.

"On punt return we had 57 yards lost in hidden yardage," Orgeron told reporters. "We need to make better decisions with our punt returner. Me and the coaches met on it today, and we're going to coach our returner a little bit different. I've got to put that on us. We didn't coach them well enough there."

Syracuse was able to down the ball inside the 10-yard line on four occasions including twice at the 1-yard line.
