Official recap Nebraska completely dominated action as the Cornhuskers ran their record to 8-1 to set the stage for the Big 8 title showdown against Oklahoma with a 14-0 win over Oklahoma State. A muddy field, fumbles and penalties hampered several NU scoring thrusts after the Huskers jumped out 14-0 in the first quarter. Nebraska’s total offense was 397 yards and the Scarlet defense held OSU to 127 — and the Cowboys only once invaded Nebraska territory. It was the first NU win over O-State in three tries.
