n.e.husker Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 11. Nebraska: Like Iowa, this is a team that will almost assuredly outperform this ranking. But boy did the Huskers lose a lot of talent and experience. It will be difficult to match the value that punter/kicker Alex Henery brought -- Brett Maher and freshman Mauro Bondi will battle to replace him -- and Adi Kunalic was a secret weapon as kickoff specialist. Top returners Niles Paul and Tim Marlowe are gone, too. The Cornhuskers will likely reload, but nobody has bigger shoes to fill at these positions in the Big Ten. http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/29165/big-ten-position-rankings-special-teams-3 Entirely fair. ST is without a doubt our biggest concern heading into this season. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Remember last year and the year before when it was odd NOT to see Adi kick it into the endzone?!?! That leg will be missed. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 No pun intended, but rankings like this are a "punt." They can't not rank us here because they simply don't know what we are, or will have. Quote Link to comment
808Husker in KCMO Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No pun intended, but rankings like this are a "punt." They can't not rank us here because they simply don't know what we are, or will have. Hence the caveat: " this is a team that will almost assuredly outperform this ranking." Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I wonder wear that mistake about Marlowe came from? Usually mistakes stem from something like a typo but I'm very confused about what it would be. Quote Link to comment
