[Husker] UT-NU Observations from the Press Box

[Kaufsss at aol.com]

At half time - #37 Wesch was practice kicking and was at about the 45 and  
barely making them- so he might have had a slight chance - but was hard to  
determine trajectory - I'm sure the coaches have at least looked at this..   He 
kicked off a couple times and while the ball was a straight line drive - it  did 
make the endzone.  Congdon was back in late in the game kicking  off.  The 
coaches must have done some kind of analysis with hang time  or something - 
because it does seem Wesch has a stronger leg and kicks it deeper  - although it 
is not high off the ground.  


 
 

First, it wasn't a 62 yard field goal.  The ball was inside the  41,
so it would have been about 58yds with a 30mph tail wind.

Second,  you write "the same kicker".  NU should get someone who can
kick the  ball that far.  As has pointed out, many HS kickers can do
it.  I'd  be surprised if there aren't players already on the team
who can and believe  it is a near certainty that there are NU students
who can.  Wesch  appears to have a stronger leg --- let him do it.

I concur with those who  say there are issues with the special teams
that should be  fixed.
