Lincoln - Nebraska walk-on place-kicker Lane McCallum wrote poetic justice with his right leg by booting a 24-yard game-winning walk-off field goal between the uprights of the south end zone of Memorial Stadium Saturday to send the Huskers to a 13-10 walk-off win over Northwestern.
McCallum, a sophomore from Norfolk, Neb., who has played most of the season for injured returning starter Barret Pickering, waited through three icing timeouts from Northwestern Head Coach Pat Fitzgerald. McCallum's kick was true through the middle of the uprights setting off an on-field celebration in a gutsy win for the Big Red, which improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten.
