| Official recap
When football historians review the 1970s they'll probably list the Nebraska-Southern California 21-21 tie in 1970 as one of the great games of the decade. It was that kind of game as Nebraska's two-TD underdogs three times led the highly regarded Trojans in a game that left 73,768 fans breathless on the last play — a 50-yard incomplete USC pass. Nebraska got the jump on the Trojans in the second quarter — Husker Joe Orduna early had fumbled at the USC 5 — when fullback Dan Schneiss threw a surprise 17-yard pass to Guy Ingles. USC tied it on a 4-yard run by Jimmy Jones, but Nebraska roared bacK for a 14-7 halftime lead on Jerry Tagge's 15-yard pass to Johnny Rodgers. Back stormed the Trojans in the third quarter to tie it at 14-14, but on the second play after the next kick-off Husker Orduna tore 67 yards on a great run to put Nebraska ahead again, 21-14. Nebraska's chance for icing a victory misfired in the final quarter when a bad snap caused Paul Rogers to miss a 22-yard field goal that would have given NU a 24-14 lead. USC then moved for the tying TD, with Clarence Davis going the last 10-yards with 8:16 left in the game. Both teams had final chances in the wild finale, but a great college game ended 21-21.
