The Cornhuskers beat the Oklahoma Sooners, 17–14, at Nebraska's 1959 homecoming game on Halloween. Jennings followed up a second consecutive win the following year with a 25–21 victory in Norman. The 1959 win was the first for Nebraska since 1942, and the 1959–1960 wins were the first consecutive victories over the Sooners since 1939–1942. After a 3–6–1 season in 1961, Jennings was succeeded by Bob Devaney, who had been successful with Wyoming. Devaney immediately turned the Nebraska program around. The 1962 Huskers went 8–2 in the regular season and won the Gotham Bowl, Nebraska's first bowl game appearance in eight years and the first of 41 consecutive winning seasons. Jennings died on June 8, 2002 at the age of 84 at his home in Lawrence, Kansas after suffering from prostate cancer.
