LINCOLN, Neb. – Rafael Gaglianone is a creature of habit and routine, but he knew that Saturday night was going to be different for him. He didn’t want to let the unique moment slip by.
Playing in the stadium where friend Sam Foltz punted, Gaglianone made the most of his only appearance at Memorial Stadium wearing Foltz’s No.27. He hit a 37-yard field goal in the first quarter and 5-for-5 on extra points in Wisconsin’s 38-17 win.
“It’s really special,” Gaglianone said. “Every time we play Nebraska it’s a big game, especially with the friends that I have on the other side. It’s different than every other game and it’s always a great atmosphere. To be able to go out and do what I did to the best of my ability, I know that’s what Sam would have wanted.”
