Someone made a movie about The Longest Yard, and after Saturday, one of Nebraska’s three fourth-quarter touchdowns belongs in a league of its own. Let’s call it The Longest Drive because it took 18 plays, covered 75 yards and consumed 10 minutes and 42 seconds during the third and fourth quarters.
If you count injuries on the field in the anatomy of The Longest Drive, it required a full 40 minutes to increase an uncomfortable 17-16 lead to 24-16, giving Husker football fans a chance to breathe a little easier on a beautiful Homecoming afternoon and a national television audience.
