Corn Flakes: Allick and Buschini Get Player of the Week Honors

It’s nice to go into Bye week with a win.

It gives us all time to reflect on the positive things from last week and relish in the fact that our Huskers are now 5-1. N

One of the bright spots the past two weeks was Brian Buschini. I believe he recorded three tackles against Purdue and he had an amazing kicking game (and throwing game) last week against Rutgers. He played so well he earned Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week.

The Bye week also gives us time to focus on watching the volleyball team take on Purdue and Rutgers on Friday and Saturday night. Hopefully Rebekah Allick will have herself a weekend like she did last weekend.
