[Husker] Oklahoma

I, too think we have a chance against Oklahoma.  Their defense has not been that good in the last few weeks.  If KState can sore 35 on them we should be able to score at least 42. If we can have long, time consuming drives ala the Texas Tech game we have a chance for an upset.  Too bad Dillard and Holt are most likely out.

I really think this could be one of those games where you go out in the
garage to do some chores or whatever about an hour before kickoff, run a
little late, and turn the game on with Nebraska up by 10. I have no
analysis to back this up, but I actually think they have a shot at
beating Oklahoma, not just playing it close. I realize the coaches are
not playing the game, but you can bet Pelini & Co. will be EXTREMELY
motivated to stick it to Stoops, friends or not. I am quite sure they
have spent many days and nights this season (and perhaps longer) game
planning specifically for this game. Hopefully it will translate to the
field, and it is a tall order, but I really do believe they have a shot.
Oklahoma has been having trouble stopping anyone in the last three
games, although the opposing offenses have been stout.

I also believe if you asked Bo in January if there were ONE game he
could win all year, my bet would be this one.

I guess I'll be the first to pipe up and ask why its so quiet on the
list when we have Oklahoma coming up this weekend.  I mean, while most
feel we aren't going to win, I would expect that most of us want us to
do well.  I'm hoping that we can do better against Oklahoma than we
did against Missouri.  Any thoughts?

I think they out-athlete us, and Sam Bradford has been a marvelous QB.
 But I would suspect that since they don't seem to run the spread
offense, that our base defense might be able to assert themselves a
bit better.  We still have a bad habit of giving up a few big plays,
and I don't see that problem getting fixed this week.  The question I
really have is whether we can hold off on the stupid penalties long
enough to be able to get into a rhythm on offense.  Joe tends to do
well when a rhythm is established; against Baylor we had a lot of 3
and longs to overcome for much of the first half from plays that just
didn't work well, or didn't work as designed, on first and second
down.  But it seemed in the second half, we got several first downs on
second down, or third and short.  As long as we can continue to drive
the ball and keep them off the field, as we did at Texas Tech, the
story might not be as bad.
