Official recap
The No. 7 Huskers, again in front of a national television audience, came out strong and for the second week in a row, destroyed a Top 20 team in defeating conference-leader and No. 13-ranked Kansas 49-7.

The Huskers took sole possession of the Big Eight Conference race as they rushed for 351 yards and racked up 533 total offense yards against KU's top 20 defense. Freshman QB Tommie Frazier completed 6 of 11 passes for a career-high 161 yards and three TDs including two to TE Gerald Armstrong. Armstrong was six-for-six on receptions-for-scores to tie an NCAA record before he caught a third pass and did not score.

Derek Brown had 156 yards rushing while his "We-back" counterpart Calvin Jones rushed for 107. KU was held to 128 on the ground and 145 in the air.

Nebraska again had no turnovers for the fourth straight game, while KU gave up two interceptions, one to Tyrone Byrd for a 30-yard touchdown return and the other to Kenny Wilhite.
