| Official recap
Nebraska's 28th annual Spring Game proved one thing for the Husker coaching staff Nebraska's offense is capable of making the big plays. In a game filled with big plays kick returns and long passes the Reds nipped a determined White team, 23-21. And perhaps, the game was even closer than the score indicated. The outcome was in doubt until the final gun. When White-team running back Tim Wurth scored on a four-yard run with 1:35 left in the game to make the score Reds, 23, Whites 21, the Whites had a chance to tie the game on a two-point conversion. But on the two-point run, fullback Keith Steward was stopped inches short of the goal-line, preserving the Red win. The closely-fought game may have been just what the fans ordered, but it only compounded the dilemma of Head Coach Tom Osborne, looking for a first-string quarterback for 1977. Five QBs performed admirably senior Randy Garcia (8-12 for 84 yards), senior Ed Burns (4-7 for 63 yards), junior Tom Sorley (5-10 for 62 yards, and 6 rushes for 32 yards), sophomore Jeff Quinn (1-3 for 13 yards, and 11 rushes for 37 yards), and junior Tim Hager (4-9 for 82 yards.)
