WATCH: Nebraska’s Tanner Lee finds Stanley Morgan for game-winning touchdown vs. Purdue
Published:
Tanner Lee came up with the most clutch throw of his Nebraska career on Saturday night in West Lafayette.
With time dwindling down in the fourth quarter and the Huskers trailing 24-19, Lee found Stanley Morgan Jr. in the end zone with 14 second left in the game for a go-ahead touchdown. It ended up being the game-winning strike, as Nebraska slid by Purdue 25-24.
These were the kind of plays that many expected from Lee much earlier this season.
Comeback complete!
