    Will never forget that game back in '93 when he returned those two punts for TDs against the Steelers.

    All time highlight!

      Yes E.D. doesn't seem to get the same following as Sweetness,  The great Jim Brown, LT, Barry,  Emmitt and the great Earl Campbell.   Every " greatest list " has their left off players.   That goes for OL players also.....Super Joe  !

      GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

          Turner was better than John Lynch.  Metcalf was as good as Devin Hester.  Legends.

              Sadly that’s what I remember as well.  He was grossly misused for years.  Swing pass, wheel route on a backer or  Toss right or left should have been our offense with him.  
               

              What a great punt returner.  Always made the first guy miss and he had great vision after he got past the first wave

                He didn't run over/through defenders; he floated over them.

                    Turner underrated I'll buy... Metcalf? No...

                    As far as I will go is say we never figured out hm and how to use his skill set. Light...  shifty, quick-accelerating with speed to burn. Pretty sure he'd be better used today by seeing a lot more broken fields ala his punt returns.
