But that effort was stopped by a five-yard penalty for delay of the game and sophomore end Mike Grace's recovery of SoDak quarterback Fred Gephart's fumble at the SD 38 The NU offense stuttered at times early in the game with Duda having trouble bringing his pass attempts within range of intended receivers. But the sputtering offense was mended early and the first score of the season went on the board when Kent McCloughan took a pitchout from Duda and scampered eight yards into the end zone with 7:30 left in the first quarter.

Duncan Drum's extra point kick failed, but it was obvious that the Huskers were en route to their 20tn win under Devaney, their eighth straight victory and their fifth straight opening game win. The 56-0 contest was also the 23rd straight game in which the Huskers have scored. The 56-0 score also surpassed by three points the margin enjoyed by first edition at Nebraska two years ago against South Dakota. After opening score the gates were open and writers began reaching for their adding machines rather than the typewriters. The avalanche that followed produced the second highest point total racked up by a Husker team since 1927 when NU defeated Grinnell, 58-0.

Only last 58-7 win over Dakota State produced more points in the last 37 years. The Cornhuskers ran around, through and the Coyotes for 385 yards and added 116 passing while the NU defense held the visitors to only 72 yards 1 Football I I Photos Boli (forliam I Weh Bay I illis Van Sickle Dirk Cole 1 auuuuiuiimnmnmmininiimmiinnuimiimi ly and started him up the middle.

McCloughan and Tatman each scored two of the Huskers, eight touchdowns with McCloughan adding i second score on a 25-yard run with 6:30 left in the third quarter that capped a 38-yard march. The veteran Broken Bow halfback took the handoff from Duda and ran half the South Dakota team in his race for the goal line. The field was cluttered with fallen SoDak tacklers and resembled a battlefield where the Coyotes might have been a victim of bullets. This was the tally that gave NU a 43-0 margin after Duda ran for the extra points.

Tatman put 12 points on the scoreboard by bulling over from four yards out just before the first half ended that gave NU a 35-0 intermission edge and by charging a yard behind the right side of the Husker line with the seventh NU touchdown with 9:22 left in the game. Sophomore halfback Harry Wilson and fullback Frank Solich put on two of the best runs of the day with both resulting in Husker TDs. Wilson took the ball from quarterback Churchich at the South Dakota 33, started down the right side of the field, then crossed over switching the bail from one hand to the other, sidestepped a would-be tackier and went into the end zone untouched for a 28-0 Husker lead.
