They do that with a lot of positions on this team. No clue why, but it’s a thing.

RE: NIU vs UNLV thread Halloween Edition
All in all, it was possibly the best overall game this team has played. I watch from the 35yd line in row 3. (Nice seats, and the stadium is wonderful)
Still a lot of young player mistakes, blown coverages and a few missed tackles on defense.
On offense, we are getting man handled on the line. Dickens is a decent player when given time to throw. Morton ran the ball well from what I remember.
We used to be one of the bigger O-lines. I am guessing we lost a lot of players tot he portal. I thought tight end play was OK as well.
Way too many dropped balls or just lack of effort on the wide receivers. My dad always told me that if the ball hits your hands, you have no excuses. Well......
By the way, kudos to the Alumni Association for the pre-game event in the Wynn Encore area. unfortunately, there were some mis-communications between the stadium folk and the group running the event, the food was very good and the atmosphere was fun. A great place to meet fellow Huskies and some of the sponsors of the team.
Although there are a few more games to go, I am looking forward to next years game at UNR. I hope it is early in the season to avoid the chilly nights in November here in Reno. OK, yes, I have become soft when it comes to cold weather. LOL
