The Illinois Fighting Illini and Nebraska Cornhuskers authored a Big Ten classic on Friday night, with the former emerging victorious in overtime, thanks to a touchdown pass from quarterback Luke Altmyer and a sack on a fourth-and-29 from the Illinois defense.
But Nebraska had a chance to take the lead prior to the overtime period. With 2:59 seconds left and a Cornhuskers drive stalled at fourth-and-3 from the Illinois 21-yard line, Nebraska kicker John Hohl and the rest of the field-goal unit jogged out to attempt a 39-yarder for the lead.
