Nebraska closed its home season by blasting Iowa State, 37-0, for the Huskers' third Big 8 shutout. A roaring crowd of 67,201 fans watched the Huskers win their 19th straight game and their 28th game without defeat as they boosted their Big 8 record to 5-0. Johnny Rodgers scored two touchdowns — one a 62-yard punt return — and Rich Sanger kicked three field goals to pace the Husker offense. Defensively, the Black Shirts did it again, holding Iowa State to only 65 yards rushing and a mere 40 yards passing. Sanger kicked field goals of 26, 27 and 39 yards, plus four PATs, to lead NU scoring with 13 points.
Rodgers got the first Husker TD with a 10-yard run in the first quarter, but it was his second-quarter punt return that broke the game open. It was one of the most colorful and dramatic runs in NU history as Rodgers cut, twisted, turned and finally blasted into the end zone.
Quarterbacks Jerry Tagge and Van Brownson also sneaked over for TDs.
Nebraska's 19 seniors wound up their NU home careers with a Memorial Stadium record of 18-1-0 and boosted their total mark to 29-2-1 as they headed for Kansas State, Oklahoma and Hawaii. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED  |
