Special Teams

[vollen]

Ok, Something I've been wondering all season. WTH is with all the fair catches? I don't believe we attempted to return a punt all season. Returns can flip the field, create momentum. Please comment.

Boo muffed a lot and why would you risk a big hit when these guys can barely punt 35 yards?

We missed Ekeler imo.

Good point OP. Iirc, Boo’s best game was vs. Syracuse when he got a bit cocky and pulled a Deon w/ a high step.


Our return game was lacking this yr.

While I've no problems with the current ST coach (name escapes me), Mike Ekeler was pure gold. He's got it going at Nebraska. After engineering a complete 180 in Nebraska’s special teams in just one offseason, Mike Ekeler has been named a nominee for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach.
