Just watched the extended highlights. On 3rd and 12 at our own 25 and 40 seconds left in the game, Hill throws an INT and Nebraska gets it at midfield. There’s about 30 seconds left at that point.
As crazy as it sounds, I think that was the play of the game… or one of them. Had that not happened and the pass was incomplete, there’s a good chance we would’ve punted on 4th down to about the Nebraska 20-25 with 30 seconds left. With no timeouts left, I’m guessing at that point Nebraska just downs it and plays for OT, and who knows what happens.
Glad everything worked out the way it did.
