Illinois pays tribute to late Nebraska punter Sam Foltz
The tragic deaths of Nebraska punter Sam Foltz -- along with former Michigan State's Mike Sadler -- in an auto accident in July has led to many emotion-packed moments for the Cornhuskers this season.
On Saturday, before Nebraska face Big Ten rival Illinois, the Illini greeted their foes with another tribute.
The gesture came on a day when the Big Ten was honoring the memory of both Foltz and Sadler with ceremonial coins to be used at the toss for each of its games.
Man.
