NU focused on team work in full-team skeleton drills and scout team work. The Huskers also worked on goal line situations, and finished practice by concentrating their efforts on kickoffs and kickoff returns.
?I though they were a little tired today,? Head Coach Frank Solich said. ? That?s pretty common for this time of year with school starting and two-a-days behind them. They were tired, but they worked their way through it pretty well.?
Kyle Larson was named one of 34 punters on the 2002 Ray Guy Award Watch List released Tuesday. The Ray Guy Award is annually presented by the Greater Augusta Sports Council to the nation?s top collegiate punter.
Last season in his first season as the Huskers? starting punter, Larson averaged 42.5 yards per punt and placed 21 of his 56 punts inside the 20-yard line en route to second-team All-Big 12 honors. The former walk-on is one of three Big 12 punters on the initial watch list.
Nebraska will return to the practice field on Wednesday with Solich and players addressing the media following practice. Wednesday is the last day for player interviews before Saturday?s game.
