Look: Teams honor military in nod to Veterans Day
One day after Veterans Day, numerous programs honored the military in unique ways. Whether it be with a special uniform, helmet, or halftime performance, here a few cool moments from Saturday.
Northwestern carried 32-year-old Tom Hruby, who was a former Navy Seal off the field, after their 45-17 win over Purdue.
How great is this?
