Official recap
Coach Frank Broyles' Arkansas Razorbacks mounted an 80-yard fourth-quarter drive against a previously impregnable Nebraska defense to down the Huskers, 10-7, in NU's first Dallas appearance. The Huskers had led most of the way in one of the greatest defensive battles in bowl history.
Arkansas scored first on a 31-yard Tom McKnelly field goal in the first quarter. But sophomore Harry Wilson capped a 69-yard Husker march midway through the second quarter on a 1-yard plunge to give Nebraska a 7-3 halftime lead. The Huskers held that lead until Bobby Burnett finished the Arkansas drive with a three-yard TD run with 4:41 left in the game.
