Official recap
Stung by their own miscues and the ferocious play of the Louisiana State Tigers, the Nebraska Cornhuskers battled from behind for an impressive, 21-20, victory in the 1983 Orange Bowl game.

Nebraska struck early, then suffered an amazing string of uncharacteristic turnovers, before returning to form with a stirring second-half performance.

Full recap here.
