All the ingredients were there. Undefeated Nebraska v. undefeated Oklahoma. No. 1 in the rankings v. No. 2. Top defensive team (average points allowed per game: 6) v. top offensive team (average points scored: 45). Nebraska's Jerry Tagge, savvy field general and deadly passer (62% completions) v. Oklahoma's Jack Mildren. triple-option wizard and running threat (968 yds. rushing). Cornhuskers' Wingback Johnny Rodgers, explosive punt-return specialist (average return: 16 yds.) v. Sooners' Halfback Greg Pruitt, devastating speed merchant (average gain per carry: 9.5 yds.). Game of the decade? Maybe. Game of the year?...
Sport: No. 1 v. No. 2
