 Official recap
Gerry Gdowski set three Nebraska quarterback rushing records as the fourth-ranked Huskers rolled to their 17th-consecutive regular-season win. Gdowski shredded the Iowa State defense for 176 yards and four touchdowns, both records, and started his Big Eight offensive player-of-the-week performance with a 74-yard touchdown run, the longest-ever for a Husker quarterback. For good measure, he also threw for two scores before leaving early in the fourth quarter. I-back Leodis Flowers, subbing for the injured Ken Clark, ran for a career-high 118 yards.
