Kieron Williams figures he’s not run that far with a football in his hands since playing a high school game.
Officially, Williams’ interception return for a touchdown in Nebraska’s 52-17 victory Saturday over Wyoming covered 23 yards.
Unofficially, it covered, well, a lot more than that.
Williams caught a pass that deflected off the hands of Wyoming receiver Jake Maulhardt near the Wyoming sideline. Cornerback Chris Jones initially freed Williams, who saw green space and began running across the field.
And running, and running.
“I know, I looked pretty slow,” Williams said, letting out a hearty laugh.
