[Husker] Oklahoma

[huskertt at charter.net]

Unfortunately, OU has more talent on both sides of the ball, along with an excellent coaching staff.  I'm only hoping that Pelini decides to let the backups get a few snaps.  I believe that this team will get better over time, however, they have no chance in this game.  This is a good opportunity to work on next year's players.

Don't get me wrong.  The Huskers have quite a few good players, and I like what I'm seeing from the coaching staff.  They just aren't there, yet.

OU 56 - Huskers 10 (scoring their only touchdown on a punt return).
