Less Fair catches. I can't believe all the fair Catches. Sometimes they're needed but when you've got room to catch and run... RUN SUCKA...RUN!!!

Seem like every returner always has 3-4 people in his face when he catches the ball.

Allen H. Browning

We need to pressure the kicker. we never do and that kills us.

Russ Judson

It all starts with blocking. Without better blocking, you could put Ameer back there and I'm not sure the results would be a whole lot better (but more of a chance he'd get hurt).

Bart Burroughs

I think it is actually both. someone that is consistently able to catch the ball and is a breakaway threat, as well as better blocking so they have a chance to move the ball up field after the catch

Arlie Rauch

The punt returners are hardly given a chance.

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
