What A Way to Open...
Nebraska vs. Louisiana Tech - Sept. 2, 2006

The beautiful facilities of Memorial Stadium have been christened...
The population of "Nebraska's 3rd Largest City" has grown from 76,000 to 85,000...
And Matt Herian opens the scoring of 2006.
Sneaking behind the defense, he was wide open in the South end zone, where quarterback Zac Taylor flipped him a 13-yard toss.
Twenty-two months of rehab, that included the whole state speculating over endless radio talk show questions and internet postings, came to an end as he put his hands up to receive a patented pitch-and-catch from Taylor.
It was like old times for Herian. Surprisingly all alone, with a pass landing right in his hands, resulting in a touchdown.
Indeed, after a somewhat shaky offensive start, the Cornhuskers got it going. Such a fitting way to open the 2006 campaign wouldn't have happened had the ref not flagged Dane Todd for a questionable holding call on Kenny Wilson's run - which was also somewhat YouTube-worthy...
