Had not seen any comment yet but what the hell was going on with the not really a fake punt? the punter looked scared to death but still got the yardage!
Complete incompetence. And that was a chance to pick up some momentum after a rare 3rd down stop.Had not seen any comment yet but what the hell was going on with the not really a fake punt? the punter looked scared to death but still got the yardage!
I think he was shocked that there was that much open field in front of him. He probably thought it was a trap......

I agree! that was Illinois coaches telling him to watch and if we turned and ran to go But he was so surprised he almost blew it. Our coaching in Special teams has not improved in three years either
That play is a perfect example of what is wrong with this program. Doesn’t matter how many great athletes you put on the field if they have a low football IQ and no attention to detail they will not be successful. Another example was the sack we had in the first half when the quarterback fumbled the ball and nobody on our team ever even realized it. Ball laid there and Nebraska guys just stood there.
he could have stopped ate a burger and still get the first down
Tuesday of next weekI was wondering about the guys that turned around and started running the other way. Its an empty stadium and easy to hear the punt. At what point do you realize you never heard it when you should have?
