Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule discussed some injury updates during his press conference on Monday as the team prepares for UTEP. He revealed that the decision on who will kick in Saturday’s game will be decided either Thursday or Friday.
The incumbent kicker is Tristan Alvano. He went nine-of-15 on field goals last season. He made all 27 of his extra points in an up-and-down freshman campaign.
The coaching staff has previously praised new addition John Hohl. He has been impressive during preseason camp, making for an interesting battle at the kicking position.
With that in mind, Rhule indicated that there would be a set timeframe for when the starting kicker would be decided.
Tristan (Alvano) is kicking, he’s in the mix. We’ll make a decision probably Thursday or Friday for who’s going to kick.”
It will be interesting to see who gets the job. It would be good to get stability in a position that has not had it over the past couple of seasons.
