Dr. John Bain Sutherland. Pitt coach, fought his way into the Husker dressing room immediately after the game. No one ever successfully accused him of being garrulous. As a result, the few words he spoke were accepted at face value and appreciated by Coach Bible.

Not long after that Sauer faked a pass and noting that the Pitt left end had cut in too far began a run. which ended 22 yards farther down the field. Sauer again shot a pass to Masterson and this time Big Bernie held it, to place the ball on 6-yard line. Mathis started a sweep to the right and cut back for a three yard gain. Sauer picked up a yard at right guard which left but two yards between the Huskers and a touchdown.

Two downs to make two yards, Sauer slipped as he started his next shot at the line and was stopped for no gain. A pass, Masterson to Hokuf, was broken up and that ended the first threat. It was not until the third quarter that Pitt was in position to use many of its offensive weapons, being so far back in its own territory plus a battling Husker line which forced punts instead of relinquishing first downs, that it had not been able to try much. The first down count at the half favored the Huskers seven to one which gives some idea of how things were going. However, in the third period, a 19 yard pass, Heller to Reider.
