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???

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.

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.
