It was a game-changer when Nebraska blocked a Purdue field goal attempt Saturday and returned it for a touchdown. Husker special teams coordinator Ed Foley is still waiting to see something remotely as productive from Nebraska’s punt-return unit.

Barthel hopes spring ‘development phase’ builds ‘great foundation’ for fall camp Nebraska head football coach Matt Rhule has spoken highly of the Huskers' stable of running backs, but position coach E.J. Barthel isn't ready to hop aboard the hype train just yet.
