1979 Orange Bowl | The 1979 edition of the Orange Bowl featured the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Oklahoma Sooners . This matchup was something of an anomaly , as it featured a rare rematch of two conference foes that had already played during the regular season . Nebraska had upset # 1 ranked Oklahoma 17 -- 14 on November 11 in Lincoln , and appeared headed towards a national championship showdown with Penn State . But unranked Missouri then stunned the # 2 ranked Huskers 35 -- 31 the following week , dropping the Huskers into a tie with Oklahoma for the Big Eight championship and knocking them out of the national championship picture . Penn State instead faced Alabama for the national title in the Sugar Bowl , and the Orange Bowl found itself with a selection dilemma . Nebraska earned the Big Eight 's automatic Orange Bowl berth by virtue of its victory over the Sooners , but , with Penn State and Notre Dame ( which accepted an invitation to the Cotton Bowl Classic ) off the board , the Orange Bowl committee decided to set up a bowl rematch with Oklahoma to create the best possible matchup . This was the last time a non-championship postseason bowl featured two teams from the same conference until the 2015 Arizona Bowl , and remains the last non-championship bowl to be a rematch of a regular-season conference game . Nebraska scored first on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Tom Sorley to Tim Smith giving Nebraska a 7 -- 0 lead . Oklahoma tied the score on a 3-yard scamper by Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims , and then went ahead when Thomas Lott scored on a 3-yard touchdown run to take a 14 -- 7 lead into the locker room . The revenge-minded Sooners then took control . In the third quarter , Sims scored his second TD on an 11-yard touchdown run . Both sides traded field goals before Lott scored on a 2-yard touchdown run , increasing Oklahoma 's lead to 31 -- 10 .
