Johnathan Holland may have had a leaping, left-handed snag in the Nebraska's end zone.
The senior wide receiver may have earned 139 of Louisiana Tech's 238 receiving yards.
But Holland couldn't beat Nebraska on his own as he and his fellow Bulldogs fell to the Cornhuskers 49-10 in their season-opener at Memorial Stadium.
"It was an amazing catch," Holland said. "Once I caught it, I was like, 'Dang, I caught this like that?' But it was great because we needed it to help us out and build up the momentum for us. It was a great thing for me."
But while the second quarter catch would pull Tech to within 14-10, it was the last points the Bulldogs would add Saturday afternoon.
And no matter how hard he tried, Louisiana Tech Coach Jack Bicknell said he couldn't understand what his team did wrong.
There were plenty of mistakes, but it was difficult for Bicknell to specifically explain how the Huskers stretched their 14-10 lead with 3:09 left in the first half to a cushy 49-10 margin at the final gun.
"I felt like we had opportunities to keep it close, and then all of a sudden its 42-10 and then they got the one at the end," Bicknell said. "I never felt for a second like we were completely out of the game. Except for about five minutes left, then I was getting a little worried."
Going through the entire second half scoreless, the Bulldogs didn't have many chances with the ball offensively.
With only five first downs in the second half and 13 total, Louisiana Tech gave up nearly 10 minutes to NU in the time of possession battle.
But even with the possessions they did have, Bulldog quarterback Zac Champion was a little disappointed in how Louisiana Tech worked with their opportunities.
In his first game as starter, Champion did well, Bicknell said, but debuting on the road in front of 85,181 fans made it difficult for the sophomore to communicate on some occasions.
"Overall, we moved the ball OK, but once we got in the red zone, we just made mistakes and stuff like that," Champion said. "We'll get better as it goes. Like I said, this was my first game and a lot of the guys' first games, so we'll get better as it goes along."
Out of the Bulldogs' control was Nebraska's size.
From the NU linemen to its receivers, Bicknell was impressed with the build and athleticism of the Husker squad.
Practically speechless following his defeat, Bicknell said he was still optimistic. Considering it was only his team's first game, the environment they were playing in and the youth of his quarterback and defensive squad - nine new starters - he was set on taking the game in stride.
"I felt like the game should have been closer than the score indicated," Bicknell said. "It was frustrating. It felt like it went from 28-10 to 49-10 very quickly. Even so, I thought our defense made great plays. This was a very tough offense to open our season with."
