| Official recap Coach Bob Devaney gained Coach of the Week honors and fullback Bill Thorton was named Back of the Week after the Cornhuskers shocked Michigan, 25-13, before 70,287 Band Day fans — the largest crowd to see Nebraska play in a regular-season game. Thorton scored two TDs and blocked ferociously – his first contact since a preseason shoulder dislocation – while Dennis Claridge hit 6 of 12 passes for 89 yards. Halfback Dennis Stuewe led all rushers with 80 yards. Entering the fourth quarter, Nebraska led 19-7 before Michigan cut the deficit to 19-13. But Nebraska answered back. On a fourth-and-eight play inside the Michigan 30, Claridge passed to Dick Callahan for a first down. On the next play, Thornton rumbled 16 yards for a touchdown. H'PEDIA NOTES: Sports Illustrated reported: "Most credit for the upset belonged to a huge Cornhusker line that allowed Michigan halfback Dave Raimey only 59 yards rushing." The win earned the Huskers a No. 16 ranking in the UPI coaches' poll. AP GAME STORY  |
