The 1970 Huskers were no strangers to uncertainty at quarterback, and Friday was no exception as the team made the bus trip to Iowa State.
Van Brownson’s ailing elbow meant Jerry Tagge might make his first start at QB since the Missouri game four weeks earlier.
Fullback Dan Schneiss was reportedly at full speed again after being slowed by injury earlier in the week.
A record-breaking crowd was expected at ISU’s Clyde Williams Field. The Huskers were 24-point favorites, and the Lincoln Journal’s Don Forsythe predicted a 31-10 Nebraska win.
