Special Teams question/suggestion

Henderson is one of the most dangerous kick returners in the FBS and took his first kick return 100 yards, then he spend the rest of the game watching the ball bounce a yard or 3 in the end zone as he stood at the 5. He should be returning every kick unless it's through the end zone of the fly. Also, why not an on-side kick at the beginning of a half? The defense won't stop anyone regardless if it's a short or long field. Pitt needs as much time with the ball in their offense's hands as possible.

I would imagine the rule change regarding touchbacks being brought out to the 25 yard line instead of the 20 has something to do with Narduzzi telling Henderson not to return kicks that go into the end zone

Putting on my tinfoil hat, does his reluctance to field punts destined for touchbacks stem from him trying to maintain a very high kickoff return average?

I am pretty sure Narduzzi has ordered him not to return kicks that land in the end zone
