Colfax Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Curious if my observation of the blocked punt alignment by Nebraska is correct. It seemed the three blockers aligned in the backfield to protect the kicker were arrayed in the middle but closer to the line of scrimmage than is normal on many teams for this protection. This lent itself to Asante being out of position to pick up the speed rusher from the corner. Anyone else notice this or is my memory incorrect??? Quote Link to comment
I See Red People Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Asante was supposed to have the corner, he let the guy blow right by him. That is a costly blown assignment. Quote Link to comment
HuskerJosh82 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Asante was supposed to have the corner, he let the guy blow right by him. That is a costly blown assignment. Hell yeah he did, he went untouched. These are the mental mistakes the coaching staff has been talking about. Quote Link to comment
SkullandBones Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Yeah, I'll say, he looked really bad. We simply don't have the kind of offense, yet, to overcome simple mistakes like that...way too costly. Quote Link to comment
