Play of the game
Trailing Nebraska 16-0 early in the second
quarter, Oklahoma State's offense had 70 yards
on 17 snaps and two turnovers. Then quarterback
Bobby Reid injected life into a listless attack. Reid
broke a 56-yard run to the Huskers 21 that set up
OSU's first touchdown and ignited the comeback
victory.

Junior defensive end Nathan Peterson headlined
OSU's much-maligned defense with four solo tackles and two quarterback sacks. The Union High
School graduate punctuated his effort with a 19-yard fumble return for a touchdown with 3:16 left.
sh5 What went right
The Cowboys' never-give-up attitude was evident in rallying from the 16-0 deficit. The OSU offense was efficient both running (267 yards) and
throwing (229 yards). The defense delivered the
big stops when needed throughout the second
half.
What went wrong
Slow starts on both sides of the ball resulted in
Nebraska building the 16-0 lead. Jason Ricks had
his first extra-point attempt blocked. Nebraska's
Brandon Jackson carved OSU for 182 yards rushing, including 123 in the first 19 minutes.
