College football’s most boring Saturday of the season just so happened to include the best finish we’ve seen in a game in a Big Ten clash between Nebraska and Northwestern.

With four seconds left on the last snap of the game, Nebraska third string QB second string QB hero miracle maker Ron Kellogg III channeled his inner Doug Flutie with a heave that somehow landed in the breadbasket of Cornhuskers’ WR Jordan Westerkamp.

Like most contests defined by last-second heroics, there’s a lot of fist-pumping and a lot of heartbreak. Here’s the best in photos before and after that epic catch.
