I'm with ladyhawke on this one. Very cool thing to do for kickoffs. I think the love that Husker fans show for kickers is one-of-a-kind (and based on a nice history of EXCELLENT kickers). His success surprised the hell out of me, but Maher seems legit, and I think he's got a decent shot at the NFL. I would imagine that this kind of tradition and interest could keep the "Kicker U" title in Lincoln for a while. Keep the nerves-of-steel, big-legged Nebraska boys comin'! BTW, his 3rd quarter punt was ridiculous.
Relatedly, anyone have a theory as to why our team has had such a great run of kickers? Luck? Did Boyd Epley create some secret quad machine? Just curious...
Crowd and the shoes?
