Official recap
Nebraska spotted Oklahoma State 14 points, then battled back for one of their patented, garrison finishes, 21-20, before 35,000 fans.

After a scoreless first half, the Cowboys caught the Huskers napping early in the third quarter and jumped in front 6-0 on a 68-yard TD pass. They followed that with an 80-yard drive for a 14-0 lead.

Nebraska came back to tie on two long drives and it was 14-14 with 10:50 left in the game. A fumbled punt gave OSU a break at the Husker 24 and the Cowboys scored in 4 plays. Two tries for two points failed and OSU led 20-14 with 7:03 left.

Then the Cornhuskers came to life, marching 80 yards in 16 plays to score the tying TD with only :57 left as Ernie Sigler hit Jim McFarland with a five-yard pass on a fourth down.

Paul Rogers then kicked the winning point, his third game-winning boot of the year.

Joe Orduna starred on the ground, netting 145 yards for the Huskers, and Sigler passed for 141 yards.
