big plays from Arkansas' 10-7 victory over Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl: FIRST Fred Marshall got two yards on first down from the Nebraska 20 Then rushed he overthrew a sideline pass On third down he got only four at end and the Hogs settled for a field goal Coach Frank Broyles said later "We couldn't handle their ends" Failure to get that touchdown almost cost Arkansas the game SECOND third down from the Nebraska 46 Robert Churchich threw long to Harry Wilson who had beaten the Razorbacks' Jim Finch along the sideline The play carried to the Arkansas 18 and four plays later Wilson went over Nebraska took a 7-3 lead THIRD in the period with third down at the Arkansas 30 Churchich found Tony Jeter on a down and cut toss but Jeter bobbled the ball and only contained it after he had gone out of bounds No first down and Duncan Drum's long field goal kick was low Had Nebraska been able to sustain the march and score Arkansas would have needed two touchdowns instead of one FOURTH coaches
