| Official recap
Frank Solich tore 80 yards to score on the first play of the game and Nebraska took a 21-0 first quarter lead, then had to scrap furiously to down a fired-up Air Force team, 27-17, for win No. 2. Following Solich's stunner, Harry Wilson posted a 41-yard run to set up a 11-yard TD smash by Ron Kirkland, and Solich logged a 21-yard scoring scamper to signal a rout at the end of the first period. But a Husker fumble set up a Falcon tally in the second quarter, and Air Force capitalized on a field goal, an on-side kick, a desperate passing attack and a third-quarter TD to pull up 21-17. Solich sewed it up with his third TD of the day, a 41-yard sprint after squirming loose at the line, and the Husker defense took command in the fourth quarter. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED  |
