| Official recap
Stung by an early field goal, Nebraska's Cornhuskers stormed back to take a 14-3 first-quarter lead and coasted to a 36-12 victory in the 1970 opener. Thanks to a Husker fumble, Wake Forest jumped in front, 3-0, before the 66,103 fans got settled in their seats. But Nebraska used a couple of long passes Jerry Tagge to Guy Ingles for 45 yards and Tagge to Jeff Kinney for 21 yards to set up a 14-3 lead at the quarter. A blocked punt gave Wake Forest a safety in the second quarter before the Huskers drove 71 yards to make it 21-5 after Tagge's 13 yard TD run. Nebraska made it a runaway just before the half when Tagge hit Soph Johnny Rodgers with a 61-yard touchdown pass. Joe Orduna's 20-yard TD sprint made it 36-5 in the third quarter and Nebraska reserves took over the remainder of the game, finally yielding a Deacon touchdown in the final minute of play. In a good tuneup for Southern California, Nebraska had opened 1970 in impressive fashion against the team that would win the Atlantic Coast title. SERIES HISTORY  |
