| Official recap
The hope of a Big Eight title and a possible National Championship were dashed when Nebraska lost a hard fought battle to Oklahoma 17-14. 1978 Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims proved too much for the Huskers as he raced for 247 yards against the Blackshirt defense, ranked No. 1 in the country against the rush. NU and OU battled throughout the game with a close score, as the Huskers lead at halftime 7-3. The first Cornhusker score came on an 11 yard pass from Jeff Quinn to Jarvis Redwine. The Sooners came up with two big plays to put the game on ice, a 58 yard touchdown pass from J. C. Watts to Forest Valora and a 71 yard run by Sims, setting up the next OU score. Nebraska's final score of the day came on a trick play, when Jeff Quinn left the ball underneath center Kelly Saalfeld and guard Randy Schleusener picked it up and rambled 15 yards for the score.
