When Devaney met Auburn coach Ralph Jordan at midfield after the game, he said: "You made a great comeback your second half was just great. I'm glad it's over!" Devaney said the turning point of the game came in the final two minutes when Auburn had the ball with fourth down and three yards to go for a first down on the Nebraska 11.

"There was a story going around," said Jeter, "that we didn't belong on the same field with Auburn. We also wanted to prove that the Big Eight Conference is just as good, if not better, than the Southeastern Conference." It was Jeter who threw a bone-bending block which left Auburn's 232-pound end, Howard Simpson, writhing in pain. "I could tell by the way he hollered when I hit him, that he was going to stay down," Jeter said. The play came in the second period with Jeter protecting on a punt return.

"It's what we call a peel block," he said. "I let Simpson go by me on the punt, then I picked him up down field and blocked him I hit him right in the stomach with my shoulder." Auburn, outweighed an average of 16 pounds per man in the line, stopped the nation's number one rushing team in the second half. "Our line out-hit them in the first half, and our offense knocked them off balance early," Devaney said. "We came close to breaking the game open, and may have if we didn't have that touchdown called back." Frank Solich returned Jon Kilgore's punt B0 yards for a touchdown but the play was called back the referee said Solich stepped out of bounds on the 42. "It was a bad call." said halfback Willie Ross.

He ran another punt back 25 yards and he returned a kickoff 29 yards. "We made some changes at halftime which did not prove beneficial," Devaney said.

"But you have to give credit where credit is due and the Auburn defense came alive in the second half. Our line out-played them in the first half, but tiieir line out-played us in the second half you might say that's the story of the game. Auburn definitely regained their composure in the second half after we had knocked them off-balance early in the game." Devaney compared Auburn to Oklahoma.
