Nebraska – Power Read Shovel

This weekend Nebraska beat Northwestern 13-10 on a walk-off field goal. Nebraska’s only touchdown came off a little twist to the power read scheme. The twist – the DE came upfield to take away the running back, the QB pitched the shovel rather than run the power track himself. It worked out to perfection.

What a nifty play from @HuskerFBNation! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/rsUnt20P2J
