Official recap
Coach Bob Devaney maintained his record of never losing to a Big 10 team intact as the Nebraska Cornhuskers took a 31-3 decision before 52,428 fans.

The Huskers lead early, 3-0, on Larry Wachholtz's 27-yard field goal, then shared a 3-3 tie late in the first quarter on a 33-yard boot by Tom Schinke.

Nebraska went ahead to stay, 10-3, late in the second quarter after a Badger fumble. They stomped 64 yards in only seven plays, with Ben Gregory going the last nine.

All America Wayne Meylan applied the cruncher early in the third quarter as he blocked a Badger punt and fell on it in the end zone for a TD and a 17-7 lead. The next time NU got the ball, the Huskers went 59 yards in eight plays; Harry Wilson scoring from the 11.

Husker reserves then took over and followed a pass theft with a 37-yard drive, Paul Critchlow getting the final TD on a short plunge.

Bob Churchich hit 10 of 13 for 117 yards via the air, while Wilson ran for 86.
