In a spring football scrimmage, one of the most heartwarming moments in sports occurred during Nebraska's spring football game on Saturday. The Nebraska team adopted Jack Hoffman, a 7-year-old brain cancer patient to improve the quality of life for this young boy. On Saturday, the Cornhuskers let Jack suite up for their scrimmage, and even take the field. What is even more heartening is that Jack Hoffman took a handoff from the quarterback and took it to the house. Hoffman ran 69 yards for the touchdown, and celebrated with both teams in the end zone. Words can’t describe how electrifying the 60,000 fan crowd had gotten when Jack took the ball. Watch the video here:
