BYU vs. Nebraska

For Andrew's birthday I surprised him with a trip to the BYU football opening game at Nebraska.We had some extra hotel and flight points that it worked out perfectly. My dad and brother, Cam, also joined him on this fun adventure. The night before the game the BYU football team does a fireside for the local ward and stake. Andrew quickly got off his flight to grab a seat. After the fireside the players stay for a little bit for autographs and pictures. Andrew walked past the backup quarterback, Tanner Mangum, and said go ball it out there tomorrow. Walking away Andrew realized that was a dumb thing to say to the back up quarterback to Taysom Hill. There was no way he was going to play......at least that is what everyone thought. Andrew and my dad had seats next to each other and it was a tight squeeze!! Andrew said you literally were sitting on top of all the people around you. He did say though that the Nebraska fans were very kind to them the whole game. Even on the Hail Mary pass at the end of the game to win it all...which was thrown by the back up quarterback...Tanner Mangum. The catch even happened in front of their section! I'm so glad Andrew got to experience such a fun piece of the BYU football season. He can always say he witnessed the Mangum Miracle!



 During halftime Andrew made a quick call to Brazil. 


If you follow the black line to the black dot...that shows where Andrew was sitting.
