Washington began the long journey home as both teams looked to next season's game, to be held in Seattle, to settle affairs.
The Cornhuskers were finally able to break down the Jayhawks and put up a touchdown in the third quarter, and eventually scoring again to seal the game and hand Kansas a shutout and another disappointing outcome.
Although Nebraska gained more yards and obtained more first downs, it was Drake who took advantage of multiple Cornhusker fumbles and twice found the end zone.
[14][21] Kansas State and Nebraska fought an evenly matched game, with neither squad able to find the end zone as the line was moved back and forth on the sloppy, wet field.
[14][22] Notre Dame was a force to be reckoned with for sure, coming to Lincoln with a 6-1-1 season record (five of the wins by shutout), and in position to claim the western title.
Nebraska struck first and decisively, jumping right out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter before the shocked Irish were able to adjust and stop further scoring attempts in the half.
Nebraska's brutal plan for an onslaught of running attacks proved effective, as Notre Dame's roster was exhausted of fresh players able to keep up.
No one scored again, and the Irish were sent home with a bitter shutout defeat made all the worse for the harsh anti-Catholic treatment many of the Nebraska locals rained down on the team and their fans.
