CHICAGO -- St. Norbert College senior running back Zach Broberg's 54-yard touchdown run on Sept. 25 is nominated for the GEICO Play of the Year, Intersport announced today. Each week, fans vote for the GEICO Play of the Year and the winner will be announced during GEICO's Best of College Football 2014 on CBS Nov. 28 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

In addition to recognizing the season's top plays, the one-hour CBS special relives the football season's greatest moments, players and traditions. The show also marks the culmination of the GEICO "Best of 2014" Football Tour, an interactive fan experience that visits 30 marquee games throughout the season.

Each week for five weeks, four incredible college football plays will be nominated as the Play of the Year on the GEICO Best of College Football Facebook page (http://facebook.com/bestofcollegefootball). The five weekly winners will then faceoff in a week of finals voting from November 3 through 10 to determine the 2014 GEICO Play of the Year.

Late in the fourth quarter, Broberg tiptoed down the sideline en route to a 54-yard touchdown, helping St. Norbert rally from a 27-6 deficit. His run made it 27-20 and he scored the game-winner later in the fourth quarter. Watch the play and vote here at: http://bit.ly/1uwQjKr

Broberg's 54-yard touchdown run is competing against three other plays from week three, Centre's Blake Martin's 30-yard touchdown catch, a big touchdown catch in their Johnnie-Tommie game by Saint John's Josh Bungum and quarterback's touchdown catch by Franklin's Grant Welp.

To watch and vote for Broberg or any of the other week four highlight plays, visit http://www.facebook.com/BestofCollegeFootball. Fans can vote once a day. Week four voting opened today and ends Monday, Oct. 27, at 11:59 a.m. CT.
