Oklahoma and Nebraska both held the their common opponents to the same # of points basically with Oklahoma giving up 140 and Nebraska giving up 134. Oklahoma’s offense had 39 more points and Nebraska looks to be without their best offensive player Taylor Martinez as he wont' be at 100%. Oklahoma has also had a much tougher road to get there on both sides of the ball they’ve faced an average 68th total defense while Nebraska is at 74th, and their defense which is really under rated faced 43rd average offense while Nebraska faced 65th.

That comes into the fact that Nebraska’s non-conference schedule was cake with match ups vs. Western Kentucky, Washington, Idaho and a FCS team while Oklahoma played some big boys in Florida State, Air Force and Cincinnati.
Oklahoma arguably has not faced a defense this good, but against a similar team in Texas they put up 28 points and that was with 26 first downs so a lot of points were left on the table. Oklahoma is now turning those first downs into points and not leaving points on the field they have had three straight weeks of consistent offense and I believe Landry Jones who is already on the top 10 passing list at Oklahoma is ready to make a leap for a Big 12 Championship. Jones has all kinds of weapons on offense and they are great at getting their players in space TE James Hanna will be a major weapon as he has breakaway speed.

Nebraska will be up against the best WR they have faced all year in Ryan Broyles who has 115 receptions 1391 yds and 13 TD’s. Their own CB coach already said it’s the best WR they have seen and they also have to have a game plan for the young electric freshmen Kenny Stills. This is a Nebraska team that is getting beat on defense a bit in a couple games down the stretch and is penalty prone. With your starting QB out likely this is not a good sign. I don’t think they can keep up and I expect Oklahoma to score 31 points or so.
