Oct. 28--USC's Adoree' Jackson earned a reputation as a dangerous kick-off return specialist as a freshman last season.
He returned two kick-offs for touchdowns, including one in the Holiday Bowl victory over Nebraska.
But Jackson is not happy with his performance this season.
Asked Wednesday where he felt his kick-return game was, he said, "Nowhere."
Jackson returned a kick-off 97 yards for an apparent touchdown against Stanford but it was nullified because of a penalty.
He is averaging 22.7 yards per return. His longest return was 40 yards.
"I haven't even got past the 50, I believe," he said. "I don't feel like I'm doing great kick-return wise."
Is the problem Jackson? Blocking? Where opponents are kicking the ball?
"It can be all aspects," he said.
USC plays California on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.
