Nebraska Takes Field With 10 Men As Tribute To Late Punter Sam Foltz

The Nebraska Cornhuskers honored their fallen teammate in an incredible way.

Punter Sam Foltz tragically died in a July car accident on his way back from a kicking camp. So to honor his memory Saturday night, the Cornhuskers took the field for their first punt attempt with only 10 men.

It was a truly special moment that’s sure to give you chills.

We had to take a delay of game, weren't able to get all 11 guys out to punt in time.

The Bulldogs declined the delay of game penalty the Huskers received for taking the field with 10 men and letting the play clock expire.

Rest in peace, Sam.
