This is the payoff for watching college football on an otherwise meaningless Saturday.
By PAUL MYERBERG –
This is the best finish of the 2013 college football season. All other last-second plays – game-winning field goals, last-second defensive stops, etc. – pale in comparison against Nebraska quarterback Ron Kellogg III desperation heave to wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp, a play that will live in highlight reels and end-of-year montages for as long as Nebraska fields a team, which shows no sign of stopping.
An otherwise forgettable game – one defined by the Cornhuskers’ slap fight with Northwestern – took an epic turn late, when Nebraska, trailing 24-21 with four seconds left, took the game’s final snap needing a touchdown to remain in the Big Ten race.
What happened next is the stuff of legends, and should be watched and re-watched and shared with all of your friends. Cue Kellogg III to Westerkamp, via Kevin McGuire:
