I'm not typically a Nebraska fan...but suddenly find myself liking them A LOT more...

Here is the story from Yahoo! Sports:

Nebraska held is annual Red-White Spring Game on Saturday and the star of the contest was a 7-year-old boy. Jack Hoffman is a diehard Nebraska fan battling brain cancer. Last season, he formed a bond with Nebraska running back Rex Burkhead and has become an inspiration for the Huskers ever since. So, during the fourth quarter of the spring game, Hoffman, who was dressed in a Nebraska uniform complete with an oversized helmet (no pads), lined up in the backfield, got the hand off and ran the ball in for a long touchdown. It was the highlight of the game.
