Super weird bounce results in a -2 yard punt


Couple things went wrong here, not least of which the result: Caleb Lightbourn's eventual punt resulted in a two yards loss.

With Nebraska trailing 14-10 at the time, Lightbourn's punt went "straight up the elevator shaft" and landed hard at the perfect angle - so hard that it propelled the ball so far backwards that it ended behind where it started. It didn't cost Nebraska in the long run, though: They went on to win the game 24-17.
