K/O Return Total Yardage is not necessarily a good thing. K/O Return Yardage Average is OK. Phillips is #19.

Indeed - and I agree.

...but I was also trying to quickly find categories where I could post the Top 10 and have some WMU representation. One can use statistics to prove anything and whatnot...

He's having a really good year.

If you want to mess with stats, see where Bellamy's 9 yards per carry ranks. Granted, he only has 24 carries, but you don't need to tell anyone.

Tied for 100th with 14 other players.

Nate Terhune, DL from KENT leads with an average of 44yds/att, but he couldn't get in the endzone.
