00:08 Just before Husker football season kicks off against Minnesota, head coach Matt Rule made

00:13 a highly anticipated special teams announcement.

00:16 Tristan Alvano will be the starting kicker in this game.

00:20 We're not prepared yet to say the kickoff person.

00:23 I think a lot of that will be, all three guys are ready to go.

00:25 So a lot of that will be affected by the wind and certain kicks maybe at different times.

00:30 Rule also announced the return of some key offensive players who are coming back from

00:35 injury.

00:36 Teddy Prohaska is up and ready to play.

00:38 So how much he plays will remain to be seen, but he is up and ready to play and has had

00:43 a really good week.

00:44 And Marcus Washington is up and ready to play.

00:46 So both those guys are doing a great job battling back from injury, so I'm excited to see those

00:50 guys play.

00:51 The beginning of the Matt Rule era will begin Thursday at 7pm against Minnesota.

00:55 With this Husker Max Practice Report, I'm Matt McMaster.
