The Nebraska spring game coin toss wasn't like any other coin toss, there was a special moment shared with everyone in the stadium.
Staff sergent Matthew Hawke returned from a 10 month deployment overseas disguised as a Nebraska football player. During the spring game coin toss the Hawke's family joined the Huskers' pregame ceremony, but the family was shocked to see who was under the uniform.

You know it's a special moment when you get all the feels during a coin toss.
Well done, @HuskerFBNation! https://t.co/IUEyFdixG2
