There's a reason we don't return punts. They will call a hold or block in the back on every return. You never see kick returns or punt returns for touchdowns anymore. The NCAA wants to eliminate returns from the game.

Agree 100%. It is incredible how often this is the case anymore. I’ve been thinking this for quite a while. So obvious.

Makes college football hard to watch when the refs call back every big play on questionable calls.

At least he fumbled while running full stride. It was weird that he fumbled seeing how he saw the hit coming and could have easily prevented the fumble. I remember in his brief stint at QB, he had a tendency of scrambling out and making a great run, and then getting all dance happy fifteen yards down field allowing the safety or corner to just blow him up. Dude let himself get rocked so many times while scrambling with the ball. I have no idea how he didn't fumble more.

Nebraska is 8th in return yards (with a number of schools having played one less game to date) - they are 1st in yards per attempt

would you rather have 5 returns for 77 yards or 21 returns for 205 yards.

Nebraska has only netted 77 total yards for the year as of that stat returning punts

Context matters. 30 of the 77 were on 1 play and 4 of the 5 punt returns and nearly all of the yards were in one game, against Indiana.

Yes - if you’ve chosen to return the fewest punts in the entire conference your main goal is to simply not f it up.

you certainly do not have a top half of the conference punt return unit

He is doing very well at Rice. Plays WR most of the time. He is where he needs to be. Should never have been recruited by NU or signed with NU.
