The cranberry sauce was surely delightful, but suffice it to say it wasn't the day's highlight.
For Hunter Miller, this past Thanksgiving came with more than turkey and trimmings. It brought with it an invitation to walk on and play football at Nebraska.
At that moment, the 6-foot-5, 275-pound offensive lineman from Cross County had one offer on the table, coming from Northern Colorado. Liberty University would jump in later, but by then, the heart was already set and the challenge accepted.
"As soon as I got that offer from Nebraska, I knew that's where I wanted to be," said Miller, whose background at Cross County includes some eight-man football.
