Perfect timing: Nebraska’s Dicaprio Bootle records first career INT vs. Iowa.

There’s someone called (Leo) DiCaprio Bootle playing football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. 

Bootle is a senior out of Miami, Florida and he just grabbed his first pick for the Huskers in the team’s big rivalry game against the University of Iowa being played today in Kinnick Stadium

Iowa’s sophomore quarterback Spencer Petras had so much time to throw he became confused, appeared to press the spin button, recovered his equilibrium momentarily, then chopped his feet and made a spastic move upfield before deciding to throw the football.

It was a bad decision, see for yourself . . . . . 

PICKED OFF!

The interception was the first turnover of the game and led to a Nebraska field goal. As the game headed toward half-time the Hawkeyes were leading the Cornhuskers 13-6. Iowa has a five game winning streak in the series the Huskers are hoping to snap.
