ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Pick your poison: there was Michigan’s punt return for a touchdown, Nebraska’s fumbled punt return and three penalties on special teams. Any one of these mistakes could have decided the game, but together, they resulted in a Michigan blowout 56-10 Saturday.
Nebraska’s special teams players said after the game that they have plenty to work on in practice this week. Huskers coach Scott Frost feels the same way.
“We can’t keep kicking the ball right down the middle of the field 50 yards and giving athletes like they had back deep a chance to return it,” Frost said.
