Doc’s Diagnosis: Maryland’s Final Interception

Dr. Rob Zatechka examines the play everyone’s talking about after Nebraska’s loss to the Terps

Nebraska's Chubby Purdy came off the bench in the fourth quarter of a 10-10 ballgame and engineered a drive covering nearly the entire length of the field.

Impressive stuff. Then this happened.

With 3½ minutes remaining, Purdy's third-and-goal pass was picked off in the end zone. There would be no go-ahead score for the Huskers. Instead, it was the Terrapins who would kick the game-winning field goal. Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice examine the footage of Purdy's interception and talk about what went wrong.
