Double Nickels is back.He would be a great addition, but what we really need is a Peter brother or an incognito.
Was JD Spielman any good at that? I know he left, and I thought people said he was a returner...just curious what you guys think. Nice pic by the way.Would be really nice to have some sort of a punt return threat

Said it before and I’ll say it again, our athletic department should flat out refuse to play any football games at the University of Purdue. Their field is so poorly maintained and in such crap condition it ruined DPE‘s career and we’ll see what happens with Myles Farmer and if is able to make a complete recovery.
He was decent with the ball in his hands but terrible judge of when to catch it and when to let it go. Not great at catching it either.Was JD Spielman any good at that? I know he left, and I thought people said he was a returner...just curious what you guys think. Nice pic by the way.
DPE was a very good punt returner prior to his injury. NU has been atrocious returning punts for years now. I don't understand how hard it is to put 2 guys back and get a solid gain after catching a punt.
I don't even need multiple PR TDs in a season, just catch the damn thing and advance it on a consistent basis.

Completely disagree, he's easily the most dynamic player we could put back there.We need someone other than Cam returning punts.
To valuable on defense.
Show it..he basically lost the Iowa game.Completely disagree, he's easily the most dynamic player we could put back there.
So coaching?There's nothing wrong with CTB on punt returns. It's the return blocking that's atrocious. At least half the guys don't even touch anyone let alone block for any length of time.

Sounds like a great way to give up a lot of fake punt 4th down conversions.In our heyday, TO routinely put three back to field a punt to preserve field position. Worked well then.
Weren't we absolutely atrocious in 2012 or 2013 on punt returns? I think we had like 4-5 muffed punts vs Northwestern alone in one of those years.bring back bo to coach special teams.
LOL, no. DPE happened. Just got lucky a recruit was that good. Unexpected.Weren't we absolutely atrocious in 2012 or 2013 on punt returns? I think we had like 4-5 muffed punts vs Northwestern alone in one of those years.
But I think the year after that Bo took on special teams himself and it was greatly improved.

And yet, that didn't happen...Sounds like a great way to give up a lot of fake punt 4th down conversions.
I don't recall which year but I was at the game, it was at Northwestern in Evanston. We gave a big, sarcastic round of applause when somebody managed to just fair catch it.Weren't we absolutely atrocious in 2012 or 2013 on punt returns?

Hahaha!! I do remember hearing the announcers laughing because of the Husker fans clapping just because we (finally) fielded a clean punt like you mentioned.I don't recall which year but I was at the game, it was at Northwestern in Evanston.

I wanna say it was a year Ameer was on the roster because I think they finally put him back there to end the string of eff-ups.
