Nebraska place kicker and punter Brett Maher was rewarded Monday for his play against Michigan on Saturday night. Maher received Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week honors

The Kearney product, a perfect 3 for 3 on field goals against the Wolverines.

He hit from 51 on his second kick of the night giving him two makes of over 50 yards this season.

"Yeah, it was good. I think it's really important as the season goes on and we get deeper and deeper into conference play. I think special teams and field position is going to play a huge role. So, hopefully, we can just kind of keep continuing on the track we're on right now," said Maher.

The weekly honor is the second of the season for the senior and the fifth of his career tying for the most special teams weekly honors in conference history.
