| Official recap
Nebraska took a while to get warmed up, but had little trouble defeating Army, 28-0, before 66,928 fans. After a scoreless first quarter, the Huskers got on the board with a 43-yard Jerry Tagge to Johnny Rodgers TD pass, in the second quarter. Joe Orduna added a two-yard tally in the third quarter before Rodgers took a 26-yard scoring pass from Tagge in the third quarter. The third TD pass of the day saw Woody Cox pull in a 31-yarder from Van Brownson making his first appearance of the season. Nebraska's defense was superb, holding Army to 18 yards rushing and only 26 yards via the air.
