Nate Gerry could have simply gone out of bounds to give Nebraska good field position. He didn't, and he ended up giving the Huskers a two-touchdown lead.
Minnesota lined up to kick a 30-yard field goal to cut Nebraska's lead to 14-10 in the second quarter, but the kick was blocked by Nebraska's Randy Gregory. After a brief moment of hot potato, the ball ended up in Gerry's hands and he took off down the left sideline, evading a couple of Minnesota players and waiting for his blocks to break free and score.
The return gave Nebraska a 21-7 lead, though Nebraska ended up losing the game 28-24 after only scoring a field goal in the second half.
