His long touchdown return came after Adrian Martinez tied the game at 14-14 with a 41-yard scamper of his own.

It was the second-straight season in which Cruickshank returned a kickoff back to the end zone against the Huskers. Last season, he scored on a kickoff return when he was a wide receiver and return man at Wisconsin.
