[Husker] I've been thinking that myself

[Ken Oliver]

I think the drop off in kicks for a touchback shows us just how good Adi Kunalic was.  I feel bad for him.  I think moving the kickoff spot in the NFL up five yards cost him a ton of money since reaching the endzone is no longer so difficult a task.

>Every time I watch a non-NU game and see some place-kicker's stat like "4 for 7 beyond 40 yards", I marvel at how good the NU kickers have been over the years.  I recall T.O. saying (over and over) that kicking is one-third of the game, but perhaps he's one of the few who actually believed that and did something about it.  But it also makes Maher's dropped snap against MU even more surprizing.
