Somebody please explain it to me. I just don't get it. He's not bad. But announcers [Mark May] themselves trying to praise this kid. I see he finally returned a punt for a touchdown. That's 3 years of OMG THIS KID IS SUCH A GOOD PUNT RETURNER nonsense that finally got "validated".

Am I just blind?

Well, let's start with his defensive skills......

Peppers has zero interceptions for his career. Peppers has not recovered a single fumble in his career. Peppers, in his 3rd year, has 78 career tackles.

Special teams? Well, as you note, he did return a punt for a TD last week. He has 26 punt returns in his career for a total of 373 yards. Prior to his 99 punt return yards last week, his previous high for a single game was 48. As a kick returner, Peppers tied his best game in kick off return yards last week when he went for 81 on 2 returns. His next best game as a KO return man resulted in one return for 43 yards. He returned one 55 yards last week. That is his career long. He has two other returns over 40 yards.
And the offense?
Peppers has rushed for 96 yards during his career. His longest run from scrimmage is 18 yards. He has caught 8 passes in his career for a grand total of 79 yards. His longest catch went for 28 yards. He has thrown one pass, which he failed to complete.
And his nose for the end zone? The aforementioned punt return pushed his career total to 3. The other 2 TDs came on the ground, one a six yard score against Minnesota last year and the other was his career long run, an 18 yard scamper against Rutgers the following week. He ended that game with 8 yards on 2 carries.

Not only that but they can't even decide what position to play him at on defense. If he was such a great defender he surely would have locked down and established dominance at a certain position by now. Great athlete, but not nearly the great football player scUM fans and media pundits try to make him out to be.

It should be noted also that Colorado really put the special in special teams, as in they rode on a shorter bus to the stadium than everybody else.

That was the first extended look I've had at Michigan this season, and Peppers was all over the place. He blew a couple assignments in coverage, but then he's also in a jack of all trades, master of none role so I don't know how refined his technique could be at any one position. Definitely balled out Saturday tho, so props to him.

Should probably mention that in year one he played in 1 game before taking a cheap shot and being out the rest of the season. Do they hype him up? Yeah. Heisman? Most likely not. But is off to a pretty good start in his RS Soph season. Leads the nation in TFL at 9.5 and punt return yards at 173. Also 2.5 sack, 28 tackles (19 solo) and forced a fumble.

And with his punt return to, his TD to females infected with chlamydia ratio is finally 1:1, which should get him a trip to New York.

UCF also ran for 275yds on them. Peppers is the leading tackler on their D and has some impressive TFL/sack numbers for a multi-role guy at this point... maybe he's finally coming into his hype a little.
But the defense as a whole can still be gashed through the air and on the ground. They've just been playing scrubs -- and yea that emphatically includes CU. This is a team that went 4-9 last year including a loss to 3-10 Hawaii. The only P5 school they beat was Oregon State.
Add in 2-10, 4-8, 1-11, 3-10 to round out their past 5 seasons.
