Does Utah have the best special teams unit in the entire country? It's certainly possible, it seems, especially after last week's performance vs. Fresno State.

Cory Butler-Byrd returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. Britain Covey returned a punt 77 yards for a touchdown as well. Their senior punter, Tom Hackett, won the Ray Guy Award for best punter in the nation last season. Andy Phillips, their placekicker, is consdiered all-Pac-12 first team.
