Akron’s 68-0 loss to Nebraska is one the Zips would rather forget.

For a Nebraska player, though, it’s a game he’ll never forget.

Tight end Luke Lindenmeyer not only scored his first career touchdown—finishing the game with three catches for 44 yards—but also created a lasting memory off the field. Before the game, he ran the idea past Cornhuskers head coach Matt Rhule.

“Oh yeah, he had asked ahead of time. Not asked, but, ‘Hey, do you care if I do this after the game?’ He didn’t ask for my permission; I think he probably asked her dad that,” Rhule said in his postgame news conference. “Once the game was in hand, it was really important for me that his teammates were there.”

After the victory, Lindenmeyer dropped to one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, Kailyn Storovich, a member of the Cornhuskers’ cheer team. She said yes.

Nebraska is now 2-0 on the season, while Akron is 0-2 and has yet to score a single point.
