Blowout victories have a way of masking warts that might otherwise be the focus had a game been a closer affair. Such is the case with the risky and at times near-disastrous play of punt returner De’Quan Bowman who should lose his role as the team’s kick returner following two more ill-advised decisions versus Kansas.
The senior is a former JUCO All-American kick returner who has been the Red Raiders’ primary kickoff returner and the only player to return a punt this season. But it is time that he be removed from both of those jobs before his risky decisions wind up costing his team dearly.
