Even before Nebraska wide receiver Bryan Reimers snagged the catch of his life – to this date, anyway – he’d already made a favorable impression on offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf.
Reimers, the 6-foot-5, 210-pound walk-on from Lincoln East High School, made his first career start against Oregon. He had Memorial Stadium rocking and media members buzzing when he hauled in a 22-yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter to give Nebraska a 21-20 lead.
