The watch party was abuzz. Rutgers was beating Nebraska 10-7, in a Vegas upset. QB Kyle Bolin was showcasing his best performance yet. With about five minutes left in the half, Bolin sailed a perfect throw to sophomore WR Dacoven Bailey to set up a first down. The pass was dropped, leading to a 4th down punt, which would signal the beginning of the end for our ill-fated Scarlet Knights.
Nebraska’s DeMornay Pierson-El would return the punt for 63 yards, setting up a 5- yard run for Mikale Wilbon on the next play. Aaron mentioned this play in his initial game reaction, and includes the final Nebraska touchdown as the moment that cost Rutgers the win.
