Nebraska football's official twitter account, @Huskers, has announced that the team will wear a No. 36 decal on its helmet for Saturday's game against UCLA. The decal is in honor of UCLA redshirt freshman wide receiver Nick Pasquale, who was struck by a car and killed this past weekend in his hometown of San Clemente, Calif. Pasquale was 20 years-old.
"Bigger than any football game," is the message associated with the tweet, which came from Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini.
