Official recap Starting against Kansas for the second-straight year, senior quarterback Clete Blakeman again made the most of the opportunity. With regular quarterback Steve Taylor on the bench with a bruised shoulder, Blakeman completed 10-of-12 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for 26 more yards. In 1986 he had led the Huskers to a 70-0 win at Kansas when Taylor was out with injuries. While Blakeman directed the offense, the Husker defense limited the Jayhawks to eight first downs and 138 total yards. SERIES HISTORY SEASON STATS | NU ROSTER
