The Huskers gave the Jayhawks the nine points within a five-minute span in the third quarter, but it was a 73-yard drive that gave the winners the edge as the Nebraska record dropped to 3-1 while KU remained unbeaten at 4-0. The winning drive came against a gallant NU Black Shirt defensive unit that had to be weary from fighting off a KU offense that was averaging 51 points per game. NU defense was in the game for all but 16 plays in the first 20 minutes helore their offensive teammates got rolling on a 93-yard scoring drive, kept alive by a recovery of a fumbled punt.
