2005 Football Success: #1

Success number one of the 2005 college football season arrived in my mailbox this afternoon. Tulsa wide receiver/kick returner Ashlan Davis returned both index cards signed in just seven days.

The senior from Mesquite, Texas set a NCAA record in 2004 by returning five kicks for touchdowns; the previous record in a single season was just three. Davis also set another NCAA record in 2004 when he returned a kick for a TD in four consecutive games; the previous mark in that category was also three. He averaged over 30 yards per kickoff return, the third best average in the nation, and earned First Team All-American honors from various publications like SportsIllustrated.com and Rivals.com.

Success rates thus far:
Returned: 1 of 26 (3.8%)
Average # of Days: 7.0
