Happy Thought of the Week: The Return Game

During Bill Callahan’s tenure at Nebraska the Cornhuskers returned only one punt or kick return for a touchdown - that being a kick return by Courtney Grixby against Kansas State last season when everything had come apart for the Wildcats.

Five games into Bo Pelini’s head coaching career, we’ve already seen a kick returned for a touchdown by Niles Paul, and a punt return for a touchdown by Nate "You Say I’ve Got No Moves" Swift.

I was

thinking the same thing the other day but then I thought that Terrence Nunn had returned a punt against Maine. Is that wrong? It was close to being a fumble (maybe it even was) at the goal line but I thought they ruled he was in for the TD.

don't believe so

based this on research I did for writing the book, actually.

Specifically when doing the “Special Teams” section of the 2008 defensive preview.
