from Husker247: A Nebraska athletics podcast · host 247Sports, Nebraska, Nebraska Football, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Nebraska Athletics, College Football
Nebraska sits 4-1 and won its first conference game of the season. One of the reasons the Huskers have had success early this season and have overcome self-inflicted mistakes is the special teams play. Mike Schaefer and Michael Bruntz discuss what Mike Ekeler’s unit has done already this season, how they knew they’d be blocking a punt against Michigan State, why Jacory Barney is special and more. Then they discuss the single biggest difference between this year and last in the third phase and how much it changes things on the field for the Huskers.
