The Cornhuskers Interfere With Oklahoma's Success
Nebraska 12, Oklahoma 0
EBRASKA had not forgotten the defeat handed them by the Sooners in 1924 and when Oklahoma invaded Lincoln, revenge was in the heart of every Cornhusker. The final pistol found Nebraska on the long end of a 12 to 0 score. Oklahoma's much feared aerial game failed to work against the defense offered by the Husker backfield.
Passing and vicious line plunging by the Nebraska backs featured the Husker offense, and the Sooner backs found the Nebraska forward wall almost impossible to penetrate. Rhodes scored Nebraska's first touchdown in the first quarter, plunging through for the final yard after he and Presnell had advanced the ball within scoring distance from the 37-yard line.
A pass in the last quarter from Brown to A. Mandary for twenty-eight yards resulted in the final tally for the Huskers. The work of Hutchinson and Captain Ed Weir featured the line play.
