I still maintain that it won't, we need a full-time guy. But I was reading this and am floored:
"The Rutgers game, he said, was a night when little went right against (according to the way Rutledge keeps track) the Big Ten’s top special teams unit. The kickoff to Cruickshank was done because NU was leery of the Scarlet Knights attempting a throwback to Cruickshank from one of the “sky-right” pooch kicks by Connor Culp. Rutgers had tried it against Maryland.
So Nebraska was in its “base kickoff Day 1 install,” Rutledge said. Culp did not get a touchback, Niko Cooper got blocked in the back — it wasn’t called — and no one else got off a block. Touchdown Cruickshank, who barely had to veer off a straight line down the field."
So we were scared that they were going to attempt a pretty difficult play of catching a super high kick then throwing it backwards to a guy on the other side of the field, so we decided to just kick it straight to the guy we didn't want them to get the ball to? Am I comprehending what I just read correctly?
