The Cardinal Countdown: 86 Days Until Kickoff

86 Days Until Kickoff

When the Cards don’t have an athlete wearing the days corresponding jersey number in 2021 I’m going to drop a quick stat, a “did you know” or maybe even a “you ain’t gonna believe this” below. You’re gonna need to click each day to find out what you get….

Did You Know: The longest punt return inside Cardinal Stadium is actually from an opponent. In 2008 Deon Murphy had an 86 yard punt return for Kansas State, but while special teams lost the battle the Cards won the war, beating the Wildcats 38-29.
