 Official recap
Nebraska scored touchdowns on each of its first five possessions, not counting a 64-yard punt-return touchdown by Morgan Gregory, and the Huskers cruised to their 20th consecutive win over Kansas. Despite a 79-yard Jayhawk touchdown pass, the longest against NU in 12 years, Nebraska built a 49-10 halftime advantage. Steve Taylor reached two career milestones as he became the fifth Husker to top 4,000 total-offense yards, finishing the game with 4,034, and became the third to record 50 career total-offense touchdowns.
