When the current patch first came out, I reported a problem with the narrative describing a long punt return, but did not have pictures to back up the report. It happened again and this time I am attaching pictures.

First picture - Kentucky kicker punter standing at the Alabama 42. The LOS is at the Alabama 34. He kicks the ball which as you will see later is supposed to travel 37 yards. From the LOS this would be 3 yards deep into the end zone. From the point where the ball was kicked this would be 42 - 37 yards or the 5 yard line which is about where the return man caught the ball. (no picture of reception).

The return man moves up field and breakes a tackle at the Alabama 47 yard line.

H breaks another tackle at the Kentucky 40 yard line.

He runs free at the Kentucky 10 yard line

He crosses the goal line after having run at least 95 yards.

The narrative at the end of the play says that the return was 39 yards. No matter where you count from, the LOS, the location of the punter, the point of reception or even the point where the last tackle was broken, the return could not possibaly be 39 yards.

Second problem to report-

Kentucky punted to the Alabama return man on another occasion and the ball was caught at the 5 yard line and there was no return. It was 1-10 for Alabama at the Alabama 5. The third quarter ended and when the game resumed it was 4-5 at the Alabama 10 and Alabama was punting. Three plays were just skipped.

That does sound like a Major bug going from 1st and 10 on the 10 to 4th and 5 on the 10. Sounds like when a Quarter Ends, it does some strange things sometimes.

As for the Punt Return Stats, this is the 3rd time I have read a similar problem occuring with Punt Returns. I also don't like the idea of lumping Punt and Kick Return Stats with Rushing Stats.
