Nebraska football punter Brian Buschini was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week after a strong performance on Saturday against Rutgers.
He recorded five total punts with a kicking average of 50.2 yards. He put two of those punts inside the 20. On top of this, he also showed his prowess as a passer. He completed one pass to wide receiver Jaylen LIoyd for 30 yards.
In addition to his statistical efforts, Buschini got hit early in the game and was clearly fighting through it throughout the day. He managed to recover quickly and proceeded to have a productive day. He was able to power through and contribute to the win on a day when field position was key.
This is the second Nebraska football player to win a weekly honor. Freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola won Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors back in September. In the meantime, Nebraska football is off to their best start since the 2016 season with a 5-1 record. Buschini undoubtedly has played a big part in that.
