Official recap
Coach Bob Devaney gained Coach of the Week honors and fullback Bill Thorton was named Back of the Week after the Cornhuskers shocked Michigan, 25-13, before 70,287 Band Day fans. Thorton scored two TDs and blocked ferociously – his first contact since a preseason shoulder dislocation – while Dennis Claridge hit 6 of 12 passes for 89 yards. Halfback Dennis Stuewe led all rushers with 80 yards.

H'PEDIA NOTES: Sports Illustrated reported: "Most credit for the upset belonged to a huge Cornhusker line that allowed Michigan halfback Dave Raimey only 59 yards rushing." The win earned the Huskers a No. 16 ranking in the UPI coaches' poll.
