Cam-Taylor Britt steadily drifted back under what ended up being a booming 59-yard punt from Illinois’ Blake Hayes.
For anybody who enjoys movies like The Hot Zone, Contagion or, in the case of zombie infestations instead of infectious diseases, World War Z, everyone knows the key to engineering a vaccine and making everything in the world right again is finding Patient Zero.
Cam Taylor-Britt, one of the finest Huskers to ever wear the scarlet and cream, on this punt 1) lost his bearings and, instead of letting the punt sail into the end zone, chose to field it inside 1-yard line, and 2) instead of just going down and possibly risking the ball being downed inside the 1, stumbled back into the end zone and chucked an illegal forward pass out of bounds resulting in the play being ruled a safety.
