Steve Taylor
Official recap
Nebraska took control of a tight defensive struggle in the second half, and pulled away to win the sixth Kickoff Classic. The Huskers came alive in the second half behind game MVP Steve Taylor, who passed for 125 yards and ran for 34 in becoming the top career rusher among Nebraska quarterbacks (1,333 yards).

Gregg Barrios kicked three field goals, the last a Kickoff Classic-record 48-yarder which iced the game with 7:10 left. Outside linebacker Broderick Thomas led Nebraska's own standout defensive effort with a career-high 14 tackles.
