Xavier Townsend was a big-time factor in the return game during UCF's 57-3 season-opening win against New Hampshire.
Between six punt returns and three kick returns, Townsend compiled 170 yards to give the offense great field position for scoring drives. On a couple occasions, he appeared close to taking one all the way to the house.
"I feel comfortable back there," Townsend said during Monday's press conference. "With experience comes comfortability. I trust the guys holding up on kick return and punt return. It's pretty much a trust factor knowing that they're blocking their guys, so I got to try to do my job."
