Introduction: Host Michael Rand couldn't believe his eyes, and neither could most of you. Daniel Jackson somehow managed to get his foot in bounds on a fourth down play late against Nebraska, changing the narrative of the game and perhaps the entire season for both teams in a 13-10 Gophers victory in Thursday's opener. Rand marvels at the play itself and the impact it had on how we view the game in retrospect.

Daniel Jackson's toe-dragging TD grab late in the fourth quarter Thursday saved the game for the Gophers and changed the story of the night, Michael Rand said on Friday's Daily Delivery podcast.
