With the season on the line, Jerry Tagge engineered the game-winning drive. It was a 53-yard march, and the junior quarterback kept it alive with a pair of crucial third-down passes. The first went for 14 yards to end Jerry List. The other was good for 24 yards to fullback Dan Schneiss, whose grab over the middle gave NU a first-and-goal at the OU three. Two plays later, Tagge scored from a yard out to make it 28-21 with 7:42 remaining.
This time, the Sooners couldn’t answer, and Nebraska appeared ready to salt the game away when Husker placekicker Paul Rogers lined up for 37-yard field goal try with 1:25 left. But the kick sailed wide right, setting the stage for the game-ending drama.
Nebraska’s opponent in the Orange Bowl remained unknown Saturday night. Second-ranked Notre Dame also won narrowly, 3-0 over No. 7 LSU, and the Irish were mulling over their choice between the Cotton and Orange bowls. Ohio State locked up a Rose Bowl berth with a 20-9 victory over Michigan in a battle between Nos. 4 and 5.
