Nebraska QB Luke McCaffrey impressively switches hands to complete pass vs. Penn State
Nebraska #Nebraska
Nebraska freshman quarterback Luke McCaffrey made his first career start for the Cornhuskers in Saturday’s matchup versus Penn State, and he had a solid first half against the Nittany Lions’ defense.
With both teams looking for their first wins of the season, McCaffrey — the younger brother of Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey — threw for one touchdown and ran for another to help Nebraska to a lopsided 27-6 halftime lead. On his opening drive of the game, he led the Cornhuskers to a scoring drive and ran it in for a one-yard touchdown.
But perhaps his most striking play of the first half was a short, left-handed toss to freshman running back Marvin Scott III on 3rd-and-9 at the end of the second quarter.
Sure, Nebraska got a first down and McCaffrey extended his team’s drive, which ultimately ended with a field goal. But it’s so impressive because the freshman passer normally throws with his right hand and still managed to get a catchable pass off with his left.

Pretty awesome to make a play with your non-dominant hand.
“Playmakers just find a way to make plays,” FOX Sports’ broadcast said about McCaffrey, who completed 10-of-15 first-half passes for 132 yards.
