LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - On a day players from Nebraska's greatest era returned to Memorial Stadium to be honored, the Cornhuskers suffered their worst home loss in almost 50 years.

With Tom Osborne and the rest of the undefeated 1997 team that won a share of the national championship watching, Oklahoma State handed Nebraska a 45-14 loss today. It was the largest rout of the Huskers at home since Missouri's 31-0 shutout in 1958.

This embarrassment came after a 41-6 loss at Missouri last week.

The Cowboys had lost 20 straight games in Lincoln since 1960, but scored on their first six possessions while getting out to a 38-0 halftime lead. That marked a stretch of six quarters that had seen Nebraska outscored 79-6.

Dantrell Savage rushed for 212 yards and a touchdown and Zac Robinson ran and passed for touchdowns.
