Mavric Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Johnny Rodgers, easy. Alex Henery is an easy #2 in my eyes. After that it's just a mumble jumble, because it's special teams. I'd probably vote the same. The Jet easily #1. Henry #2. Maher was on his way to this list but probably not after this year. AA started out great but that only lasted 3-4 games. I'd say Groce and probably Kris Brown would make my top 5 but I'm not sure where to put the rest. Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 ST gunners get no love. And long snappers.... Tim Smith was quite the special teamer. He was a starting WR and Punter. Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Barron Miles. Who needs a punt returner when you can just walk up and take the ball off the P's foot? Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 In my lifetime: Alex Henery hands down. What a great luxury we had not to have to worry about missing a FG for what, 3 years? Quote Link to comment
KJ. Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 In my lifetime: Alex Henery hands down. What a great luxury we had not to have to worry about missing a FG for what, 3 years? 4. He didn't miss a FG or PAT his freshman year, going 8-8 and 45-45, respectively. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Was also gonna add Miles and Rigoni. Henery was probably my favorite of all time. Just cool as a cucumber. DeJuan Groce and Newcombe were probably the most fun to watch as far as returners go. I'd like to see Jamal Turner get the full time duties as PR for the rest of his career in addition to becoming a great wide receiver here. Watching the guy run with the football, you can see he just has that "vision" that makes some guys just a notch better than everyone else. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Jesse Kosch was a heck of a P (94-97). did we punt at all in that time period? Maybe 1996. Santino Panico is seriously underated(sarcasm, but I would have loved to have this year), I guess because he was on less then average Nebraska teams. And really, who are some great wedge busters?

default_28 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I can't find any stats on it, but in my not great memory Kyle Vanden Bosch blocked several field goals and extra points in his career. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I can't find any stats on it, but in my not great memory Kyle Vanden Bosch blocked several field goals and extra points in his career. Yes. In 1999. I know that he blocked 2 against Texas A&M alone. Then the next week against Kansas St, Alexander fumbles on the 1st play of the game (the fumbleitis year), defense holds 3 and out, and sure enough, Vandenbosch blocks another. Game was over from that point. He was incredible at that. Quote Link to comment
blessed2bahusker Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Man I miss those days when we had Newcombe, Groce, Joe Walker and Randy Stella returning kicks and punts. It added such excitement to the games. I remember being at the Texas Game in '02 when Groce returned the punt down inside the 10 yard line with less than a minute to go. I don't remember exactly how much time was left on the clock. The stadium absolutely exploded. One of my best experiences ever in memorial stadium. Of course you guys know the rest. Throw the ball away Jamal, throw it away!!! F@CK! Quote Link to comment

blessed2bahusker Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I don't remember the stadium emptying out. I know the section I was in was still full. People sure got up to leave fast after that interception though. Quote Link to comment
blessed2bahusker Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The man. The myth. The legend. SANTINO PANICO! He is kind of a scary looking dude. He looks like a UFC fighter. Don't know how that panned out for him though. Quote Link to comment

People sure got up to leave fast after that interception though. Half is an exageration of course. I bet about 25% left when Texas got up 27-17 with 4-5 minutes left. You know how the crowd can be. Hell, I admit my parents were two that left early. We get a score with about 2 minutes left, get a 3andout and then Groce gets the long return. Quote Link to comment
