Beef quarterback James McNear scrambled and hit running back RJ Rollins with a 23 yard touchdown pass to win 70-68. While Beef players and coaches celebrated, the Colorado crowd was left stunned and breathless.

The entire Omaha Beef organization values the service and protection that all branches of the military provide.
