Official recap Upstart Kansas State, which hadn’t scored a point and was supposed to be a pushover, scared the daylights out of Nebraska by scoring the first time the Wildcats got the ball – an 86-yard Larry Corrigan to Ralph McFillen pass play. The play followed McFillen's interception of a Dennis Claridge pass. KSU then drove from their own 28 to the Nebraska 6 in six plays, but the drive was halted when fullback Willis Crenshaw fumbled and NU's Dave Thiesen recovered on the 6. From there, the Huskers' depth finally overcame the battling Wildcats and NU wrapped up its fifth straight victory, 26-6. The Huskers ran 76 plays to the Wildcats' 48. H'PEDIA NOTES: The Huskers were 5-0 for the first time since 1933.
