Nebraska beats Northwestern on Hail Mary to end game (Video)
The week didn’t go so well for one Pelini brother, but the other was much more fortunate.
Bo Pelini’s Nebraska Cornhuskers beat Northwestern 27-24 on Saturday after connecting on a miracle Hail Mary on the last play of the game. Quarterback Ron Kellogg III heaved one to the end zone that was tipped and caught by Jordan Westerkamp for a 49-yard touchdown pass to give the Huskers the victory. You can watch the video below:

Do you think Pelini has realized yet what happened? His Huskers are now 6-2 thanks to the win, while the Wildcats drop to 4-5 and 0-5 in the Big Ten.
Ouch. What a painful way to lose.
Here’s a pretty sweet photo of the catch:
