| Official recap
For the second-straight week, top-ranked Nebraska struggled through the first half against a fired-up Big Eight foe, and the Huskers went into the fourth quarter at Missouri leading by just 20-13, but surged to a 34-13 win before the fifth-largest crowd in Faurot Field history (72,348) and a national television audience (ABC). The Huskers, who trailed twice in the first half, got 159 yards and two TDs on the ground from All-America I-back Mike Rozier, 14-of-18 passing for 151 yards and two TDs from quarterback Turner Gill, and seven receptions for 95 yards and two TDs from Wingback Irving Fryar—who sat out the second quarter with the flu, but was named player-of-the-game by ABC-Chevrolet. However, Nebraska needed a big defensive stand and a big Missouri fumble in the second half to pull out the win. SERIES HISTORY  |
