Must play fair, and, though it's hard with one of the name programs in college football (or, at the least, one that used to be to a greater extent than now), I must tip my hat to the University of Nebraska football team.
You see, they just had their spring football game (which, obviously, is a big deal in those parts).
Jack Hoffman scored a 69-yard touchdown for the Red Team in the intrasquad game.
You won't be hearing that name in the boxscores come September.
You should be hearing it in Nebraska lore for all time, though.
You see, Hoffman is seven years old.
He has brain cancer.
Hoffman has caught the hearts and minds of the Nebraska football program for his fight against his childhood brain cancer.
So, for those once-in-a-lifetime moments, they decided to suit Hoffman up for the Red Team and have him take the field.
They had him enter the game on a 4th-and-1.
Yes, what happened was contrived and all that garbage if you want me to be as cynical as I usually am around these parts.
For this post, fuck that cynicism and I will just post what happened (a video, I assume, from the actual Nebraska Cornhusker athletics YouTube account) without further comment:
