With No. 19 Nebraska tied 24-all against McNeese State with 35 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Cornhuskers were toeing a dangerous line.

To Fake Bo Pelini, the repurcussions of defeat were obvious.

"IF WE LOSE WE WILL DROP IN THE POLLS FOR SURE," he tweeted, from somewhere.

Then, on a third-and-6 at the Huskers 42, Nebraska QB Tommy Armstrong Jr. dropped back and found WR Ameer Abdullah, who caught the pass and proceeded to break every tackle in his way en route to the end zone.

It was quite the run, one worth watching over and over again in a loop:

It was a play Fake Bo Pelini won't forget any time soon. 

"I WOULD MARRY THAT PLAY IF YOU COULD MARRY PLAYS," he said with glee.

The Cornhuskers went on to win 31-24.
