Nebraska football: Can Mike Ekeler REALLY fix the special teams as fast as promised?
from Locked On Nebraska - Daily Podcast on the Nebraska Cornhuskers · host Locked On Podcast Network
Looking back at the 2024 Nebraska football season, there’s a Big Red flag that perhaps we’ve failed to take into account as the offseason hype built this spring summer. Does everyone realize just how poorly the Huskers played on special teams last year? We dive down a dark hole – and then take a look at the potential impact of new special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler. As Ekeler meets with the media on this Tuesday, he’s got a major task in front of him. And it will take more than just the freshman phenom punter, Archie Wilson, to fix all that ailed Nebraska on special teams last year. In fact, the punter was the least of the Huskers’ issues a year ago. Also, two single digits have been revealed. Who got them? We break it down.And we look at four under-the-radar risers in camp this month. Join us. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!WayfairGet organized, refreshed, and back to routine for way less.
