Oregon placed flowers on the field to honor Sam Foltz, the Nebraska punter who passed away during the offseason. Apparently, the move was orchestrated by coach Mark Helfrich.
Appreciate it @WinTheDay.

Such a classy gesture by Oregon kicker & head coach to place flowers @ 27 yd line in warmups. Well done. #SF27 pic.twitter.com/tQUc0hhw3S

We love the move by the Ducks, who went out of their way to extend a tribute to a community still healing over the loss of one of their own. Nebraska honored Foltz in their own way during Week 1, lining up 10 players in punt formation.
