I was in Section 34, Row 80-something. But I had a PERFECT view of this play. I perfectly saw Kellogg roll out, avoid the mess around him, and perfectly saw him throw the ball - almost falling down.

I watched the ball arc through the air.

From my vantage in North Stadium, I could see it perfectly heading toward a scrum of blue and white and red clad players.

I knew there was no chance.

I saw the ball fall into the pile, and I saw all the arms swat at it.

I saw the ball flip backwards, toward the end zone.

What I didn't see was a Freshman Wide Receiver whose job it was to float outside the scrum, who was ranging behind the play.

What I didn't see was his break, from left to right, as he adjusted to the batted ball.

I didn't see that because he was behind the pile.

But I saw him flash out from behind them.

And I saw his arms raise up as the ball was batted back toward him.

And then I saw him make the catch. And I saw the ref throw his hands up.

And then it was bedlam, and all I saw were faces that probably looked like mine, awestruck and surprised and elated.

Then all I saw were hands, everywhere.  High-fives all over the place. Side to side, the row in front, the row behind. My dad, our jello shot supplier, the dad & kid to our right, the husband and wife to our left, whoever it was who bought the tickets from the dude in front of us. 

That's where I was.  It was a hell of a fun finish to an otherwise dreary game.

Left the rail yard and me and some buddies were at Cliffs...getting drunk...my friend filmed it and us as it happened, it was so fun.  

In what used to be a parking lot across from the night before, tailgating with my buddies. I could see across the street into The Alley bar. I didn't want to watch the play so I watched the people in the bar. They seemed confused, then everyone at the tailgate let out a bunch of expletives followed by, no ways, how'd he get that, oh my god! I finally saw the score and Ron sprinting. I couldn't believe we had won because the ball never rolls Nebraska's way anymore!
