| Official recap
Never ones to duck a challenge, Coach Bob Devaney and his Cornhuskers accepted a bid for a rematch with Alabama and Bear Bryant in the Sugar Bowl. It turned out to be a little too much of a challenge as No. 3 'Bama handed the No. 7 Huskers a 34-7 thumping. The Tide rolled up a 17-0 first quarter advantage and led at halftime, 24-0, behind the passing of Kenny Stabler. Sophomore fullback Dick Davis prevented a complete whitewashing with a 15-yard TD catch of a Bob Churchich pass on the first play of the fourth quarter. Husker QB Churchich sparkled again against the Tide, completing 21 of 34 passes for 201 yards. With the loss, the Huskers joined Alabama in holding the dubious distinction of being the only teams to lose in all four major bowls.
