3rd & Goal from Nebraska 2: Lunt throws incomplete pass to the right (pass interference).
1st & Goal from Nebraska 1: Lunt throws touchdown pass to the right to Geronimo Allison.
That's right, after five very similar attempts at the potential game-winner from deep inside Nebraska territory, Lunt and Allison finally hooked up with 10 seconds left to cap a 72-yard scoring drive and help Illinois stun the Cornhuskers.
