An offside penalty was re gained when Jerry Brown moved the ball again to the 29 yard line. But the move ended here when Stinnett fumbled the ball and the Syracuse squad recovered on the 27 yard line. From here Tom Stephens took over for the Orange and drove his way down to the seven yard line of the Scarlet. On the next play Chuck Fogarty slipped into the endzone to put the Syracuse team back in front and they never again were threatened. A bad pass from center fouled up the conversion try and the Huskers again trailed 13-9. After a series of exchanging punts the Huskers regained the football and started what looked to be a touchdown drive.

After the game Syracuse Coach Ben Schwartzwalder said the Ne braska team was tougher than Iowa State and the Cyclones tied the Orange, 7-7. Schwartzwalder went on to praise the Cornhuskers for their line work. "That Cornhusker line was rough in there. They moved around a lot and that makes it tough." "That fullback (Jerry Brown) is a real rugged kid. He played a fine game." k y iv r3 Huskers Tally . . .
