College sports are about more than just the games. Connections are formed, passion grows, and groups of people that would most likely never meet become a community.
Over the weekend, the Nebraska Cornhuskers hosted their annual Football Road Run, where the community of Lincoln can come together, meet players and coaches, partake in football-adjacent activities, and race in a fun run.
All of the money raised through the event goes to fighting pediatric brain cancer; a pretty darn good cause if you ask me.
At the event, a couple of players and coaches took turns speaking to the crowd, including senior defensive back Derek Brach and defensive lineman Riley Van Poppel.
