Nebraska's Tunnel Walk was a little different the night of the NU-Rice game on Sept. 20, 2001. Instead of players and coaches running on the field, the ritual featured officials presenting the colors. Players from both Nebraska and Rice walked on the field during a time of silence to honor the nation.
