| Official recap
Nebraska's Black Shirts went on a record rampage and the offense waltzed on a Field Day as the Cornhuskers blasted Kansas, 55-0. It was Nebraska's 25th straight without a defeat and the Black Shirts' second straight Big 8 shutout. So potent was the NU defense that Kansas was held to a record minus-42 yards rushing and only 56 yards of total offense. Meanwhile, Nebraska's offense went on a swinging spree. The Huskers rushed for 411 yards and had a 538-56 bulge on the Jayhawks. Jeff Kinney scored TDs on runs of one and 66 yards, Johnny Rogers caught a 37-yard TD pass and ran 13 yards for another, QBs Jerry Tagge and Van Brownson each plunged for a score, and Gary Dixon got his fourth TD of the season. The capper came when Pat Fischer — the fifth family member to play for the Cornhuskers (son of Coach Cletus Fischer) — intercepted a Jayhawk pass and returned it 14 yards to score. SERIES HISTORY  |
