Reports that Nebraska wants to back out of playing at Oklahoma this season didn't sit well with one of the stars of the 1971 Game of the Century. The game scheduled Sept. 18 in Norman, Oklahoma, would mark the 50th anniversary of Nebraska's 35-31 win over the Sooners in a clash of the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the nation. (AP Photo/File)
