Nebraska was already stuck at 4-and-11 in the final seconds, and instead of taking things easy on the final play, quarterback Dynal Railoa loaded up and launched the ball downfield.
Plenty of players on both sides crowded the endzone, but it was Nebraska’s Jacory Barney Jr. who came down with the massive touchdown.
Naturally, the touchdown sent the crowd in attendance into a huge tizzy, and the massive Hail Mary has already lit the internet on fire as well. Fans have been pouring in with responses on the huge play.

Nebraska pulled off one of the craziest plays in this College Football season thus far, and they need to figure out a way to win this game after such an incredible play.
So far, Raiola has 210 yards and two touchdowns through the half. Barney has been his favorite target, with 96 yards and catching both touchdowns, including that incredibly Hail Mary pass.
Nebraska is searching for its fourth win in a row, while Michigan is hot on its heels with a 2-1 record. This is turning out to be one of the best games of the season thus far, and that Hail Mary play is sure to be talked about for weeks to come.
