Nebraska returns blocked Minnesota field goal for touchdown (GIF)
Nate Gerry could have simply gone out of bounds to give Nebraska good field position. He didn't, and he ended up giving the Huskers a two-touchdown lead.
Minnesota lined up to kick a 30-yard field goal to cut Nebraska's lead to 14-10 in the second quarter, but the kick was blocked by Nebraska's Randy Gregory. After a brief moment of hot potato, the ball ended up in Gerry's hands and he took off down the left sideline, evading a couple of Minnesota players and waiting for his blocks to break free and score.
The return gave Nebraska a 21-7 lead, though Nebraska ended up losing the game 28-24 after only scoring a field goal in the second half.
