During the hawks walk through tunnel at the beginning (during back in black) I noticed number 97 in the front - much smaller player than other familiar players. Happens to be Tyler Kluver - found it to be a weird coincidence that he (the long snapper) goes on to appear in the highlight reel catching a pass on a fake fg.

That was the ugliest pass/reception I think I've ever seen. Loved it!

Had the ball been thrown instead of shot-putted, the young man would have had an easy TD. As it was, he did a tremendous job of catching that low lob and nearly getting into the end zone anyway. What a moment for a long snapper. He'll remember that until he's at least 101, and so will thousands of Hawkeye fans.
He will see that goal line tantalizingly close in his nightmares for decades. 
On the local news Tyler said when he look up and nobody was there to cover his heart started racing it was funny and the punter threw it before he turned around and that surprised him too
Kluver has always been in front row of that walk for games I have seen on TV. Pretty sure it is all seniors in front row.
Thank God he caught the ball. Will have to hear stories of his falling down for rest of his life but it was heck of a play.
