It’s a pretty good deal, especially since it’s a fair catch — I think many will take it & hope for the additional roughing-the-fair-catcher penalties (pac-12 refs, after all.)
Anyone want to do the research and figure out what the average non-touchback return length & 1st-down yardline was over the past few years?
Once you realize Nebraska had exactly 9 wins in 2016, 2014, 2013, 2011, 2008 & 2006 it makes it a lot less confusing why they picked that metric. Same reason they picked 1962, I suspect.

Just checked google street view https://goo.gl/maps/C8SubDGhBsC2& totally remember that strip mall because it had a 2-for-1 Pizza (that was ingenuously both its name & marketing advantage).

Talk leaking out of a planned new club at the peristyle end of the coliseum that will serve alcohol on game-days. Apparently it will be "outside" the stadium so outside Pac-12 regulation. Wouldn't be surprised if it was only avail for big boosters & season ticket holders, like Cal's.
Oh, I guess that's not an athletic facility -- so OT
