Official recap
After an open week, Nebraska, ranked No. 14, recorded its first shutout of the season blanking the Oklahoma State Cowboys 55-0 in Lincoln. The game was the Big Eight Conference season opener for both teams. The Husker Blackshirts not only held the Cowboys scoreless, but held them to a season-low seven first downs and did not allow them to complete a pass. Nebraska, meanwhile, did not commit a turnover, while Calvin Jones led the Huskers with a then-season-high 176 yards on seven carries, including a 90-yard touchdown, the AT&T long play of the week and was named the Big Eight Offensive-Player-of-the-Week. NU punter Mike Stigge meanwhile set a career-high 50.8 yards-per-punt average on four kicks and had a school-record 87-yard punt. Husker QB's Mike Grant and Tommie Frazier completed 12 of 22 passes for 140 yards and four touchdowns.
