If the answer is yes, and you have college eligibility remaining, keep the phone handy. Nebraska football coach Frank Solich will more than likely be in touch. In the two weeks between the Notre Dame and Iowa games, the Nebraska coaching staff figured it could fix all that was wrong with the Husker special teams units. They worked on schemes, they focused on techniques and even made a few changes in personnel. But after another so-so week in the special teams department, Solich is taking off the gloves.
All bets are off and nearly everyone on the team is being considered for special teams duty.
We're looking at getting it done special teams-wise at all costs. Solich said that if it means putting more starting players on special teams, then so be it. Because of a lack of depth at some positions, the NU coaching staff has been reluctant to place some of the Blackshirts on special teams, but that's going to change. Even if it means having to rest those players when they supposed to be on the field playing defense. That's where we're at.
