The CU loss seemed to tie the Huskers into a knot. IMO once a team suffers a loss like that, it really seems to haunt them throughout the season.

Randy Weitzenkamp

The huge step backwards on offense was the biggest surprise. Special teams was also an unexpected disappointment. My 2020 expectation have been realigned. Just hoping for bowl eligibility.

Robert Lloyd

My hat's off to Minnesota, but the "Sean Watson" (splg?) like offense of the Huskers puzzled me. And the defense to date is nothing we can count on. Specials teams have broken down too. Urgh...

Tom Nelsen

Easiest schedule for the foreseeable future and little improvement evident maybe even regression from last year. very sad

Minnesota was impressive, but my biggest single surprise was Wisconsin QB Jack Coan. The Badgers were going to be a good team, but they became a great team because of the unexpected play of Coan.

My crystal ball is in the shop, but I really wanna say yes to this. He's a shoo-in for the Illini, but I gather that Glenn & Matt went hard in this visit. Hopefully, it was enough to convince him on Lincoln.

as long as it works

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

Steve Rentzell

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Danny Purcell

taking full advantage of college rules

Ron Graf

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.
