The trick fooled everyone in the stadium, and treated Big Red fans to a 16-7 second quarter lead. The Tigers seemed deflated after the touchdown romp and never regained enough momentum to score again. The Nebraska defense lived up to its awesome reputation for the remainder of the afternoon, sacking Tiger quarterback Steve Pisarkiewicz nine times for a total of 55 yards.
