Official recap Staging one of the greatest kicking sprees of all time, Nebraska's Paul Rogers literally kicked the Georgia Bulldogs out of the Sun Bowl as the Cornhuskers romped to a 45-6 victory before 31,728 sun-splashed fans. Rogers set a Nebraska and Big 8 record with four field goals in the first quarter, ranging from 50 down to 32 yards, a fete also good for a Big 8 and Nebraska game record and added to his season and career marks. The victory, which evened Bob Devaney's Nebraska bowl count to 3-3 and his lifetime mark to 4-3, capped a comeback 9-2 season that included the Big 8 co-championship and a colorful, exciting and victorious visit to hospitable El Paso and Juarez, Full recap here OWH STORY | ROGERS' BIG DAY SERIES HISTORY | NU BOWLS SEASON STATS | NU ROSTER FINAL POLLS | HONORS
