Before kickoff on Saturday, the Oregon Ducks placed a bouquet on Nebraska’s 27-yard line in memory of Husker punter Sam Foltz.
Appreciate it @WinTheDay.

Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich joined Ducks’ kicker Matt Wogan in carrying the bouquet toward the Nebraska sideline and placing it in Foltz’s honor.
