Official recap It took a fabulous last-ditch drive for the Cornhuskers to topple North Carolina State, 19-14, and remain unbeaten. The inspired Wolfpack pepped by quarterback Jim Rossi and scatback Joe Scarpati, who stunned NU with a 91-yard kickoff return for a go-ahead TD in the third quarter had the Huskers in a jam until the final minutes. With 13:52 of the final period gone, Dennis Stuewe skipped 12 yards for the clincher, capping a sensational drive generaled by Claridge. It was Stuewes second tally of the final frame as the Huskers were forced to come from a 14-7 deficit. H'PEDIA NOTES:The win gave Nebraska its first sweep of its nonconference opponents since 1915.
