We STILL don’t know who is going to be Nebraska’s placekicker this year…how long of a leash will it be with early struggles? Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

-Nebraska used to be Kicker U, with so many reliable kickers for a long time. Recently, besides one very good year from Connor Culp, it hasn’t been so much

-Ed Foley said yesterday that Nebraska will announce the starting kicker today at some point. The question becomes…how long of a leash will the kicker have if things go bad? What if a FG is missed in the first half against Minnesota…do you bring in the other one? Seems messy.

-Brian Buschini had a phenomenal camp!

-Nebraska has three solid options for the kickoff man

-How do you prepare for punts on special teams?

-It's important to have low-maintenance football players on your roster
