Nebraska vs. Oklahoma Preview

Fanalytix breakdown of the Husker-Sooner showdown
Fanalytix

Oklahoma has played two games so far this season against UTEP and Kent State. Both were easy wins with scores of 45-13 and 33-3. In the Kent State game, the lead was only 7-3 at halftime.

The Sooners are 3-0 in turnover margin (2-0 and 1-0) with total offense of 492 and 430 yards. Time of possession favored both opponents since several of the Sooner scoring drives were less than a minute long. Ten of their 12 scoring drives were over 50 yards. In red zone scoring, they were 8-8. First down totals are 43 to 46, which is the only negative stat.

Defensively the Sooners have 20 tackles for loss with 9 being quarterback sacks. They have been penalized 12 times for 84 yards.

With the turmoil of the past week, it's anybody's guess how the game will go Saturday. I have a feeling the Huskers are going to test the Sooners and hopefully have scoreboard on them for the rest of the decade.
