I'm pretty sure they count it in both...I've heard one of Devin Hester's returns say "104" yards when he was at Miami. Maybe not logged like that in official stats though...

There have not been any 100+ this year, then:

That link isn't conclusive, as they could all have been goal line reaching kicks. I didn't see any of them personally, so I can't say for sure any of them may have been 102, 104, whatever.

Bowl game could grant Pryor chance to follow in footsteps of fellow quarterback

Twenty seconds remained in the 2006 Rose Bowl. A fourth-and-5 was all that stood between Texas and a national championship; between Vince Young and college football immortality.

A few seconds later, Keith Jackson said, ?He?s going for the corner, he?s got it.?

Vince Young disappeared into an assembly of media and photographers with the same confidence he possessed when he showed up on the Rose Bowl stage 368 days earlier.
Longhorn fans relished a national title celebration. Young relished the knowledge that he would go down as one of the biggest heroes in Rose Bowl history.

Two-time defending national champion USC scrambled to win its third title, but Vince Young?s 9-yard touchdown run and almost unheard-of individual performance had already shattered that dream.

On Saturday, when the oldest member of the Buckeyes, Devin Barclay, kicked OSU into the ?Granddaddy of Them All,? it was only a matter of time before someone pointed out this fact: Vince Young played in the Rose Bowl his sophomore season, too.

Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who has often been compared to Vince Young since the Longhorn?s dominating performances in the Rose Bowl in ?05 and ?06, will be a sophomore, as well.

The comparisons have come from everywhere, including Pryor?s former high school coach Ray Reitz and Young?s college coach Mack Brown.

?Before he leaves Ohio State, he?ll lead them to a national championship,? Brown said earlier this season of Pryor. ?He?s that kind of player.?

Brown saw Young up close for four seasons at Texas. After redshirting his first year, Young split time as a redshirt freshman before starting as a sophomore and junior.

His blend of size, speed and athleticism had never been seen at the quarterback position. And for the most part, it hasn?t been seen since ? until Pryor.

Although both Young and Pryor managed to lead their teams to a Rose Bowl in their sophomore seasons, struggles didn?t go unnoticed.

The Lantern - Bowl game could grant Pryor chance to follow in footsteps of fellow quarterback

College Football: Pryor needs to be a road warrior
By Jon Spencer • Telegraph-Forum • November 18, 2009

COLUMBUS -- If Earle Bruce has high expectations for Ohio State sophomore Terrelle Pryor, it's because the old ball coach went down that road him self with a ballyhooed quarterback.

In 1979, Bruce's first season as OSU head coach, sophomore Art Schlichter guided the Buckeyes to an 18-15 win at Michigan and within a victory of a national championship after pitching 21 interceptions his freshman season.

Like everyone else, Bruce hoped to see the same sort of prog-ress from one year to the next out of Pryor heading into Saturday's trip to the Big House.

Ninth-ranked Ohio State has already clinched at least a share of its fifth straight Big Ten championship and a Rose Bowl berth, but this hasn't come close to being a breakout season for Pryor.

"He's made headway," Bruce said of Pryor. "We'll see how he does up there (in Ann Arbor). You can't make mistakes on the road and that's where he had his biggest problems, at Purdue. Then he made some headway a couple of weeks ago at Penn State.

"This will be the real test of our quarterback. How do you play against Michigan?"

I hope that TP is closer to full go in this game. The last 3 weeks, the staff has held him back, either in time or in what they have asked him to do in order to get him ready for this game :wink2: Hopefully this week they turn him loose and he puts up Troyesque numbers, but within the offensive scheme. Of course this means he would probably only play the first half, as we know that JT does not like to run up the score :biggrin:

My guess is that TP will, as we say in Da ATL, "show out" on Saturday. The season is about holding your breath and doing what you can (without showing too much) to get to The Game healthy and undefeated. Now, I hope, we'll see what JT has been hiding. I hope that he'll turn TP loose and I can enjoy the lesser holiday season after The Highest of Holy Days.
