**** Official Northwestern Game Discussion Thread *****

Not attempting a return there to make sure a punt fake doesn't get a first down. Not very likely a punt will be short enough to return and also likely that it will go into the endzone/be downed in a position where you wouldn't like your PR to catch the punt. But god does it look bad to have 8 defenders barreling at your PR.

 
Special Teams aside, that was exactly the kind of 3rd quarter Nebraska needed.

Now all we need is one long, PHYSICAL drive to put more points on the board, and wrap this evening up.

 
We have potentially one of the best returners in the game and he has 10 players in his face on every return. I'm surprised the punter doesn't manage to be in his face too.
In their defense, the punter is lousy and has trouble kicking a returnable punt.

That's exactly what we need. Put 'em away!
