[Husker] NU/OU Line

[Aaron Wolfson]

I really believe that the defense is going to keep NU in this game. Is
Oklahoma's offense any better than Texas Tech's (when the Huskers played
them)? Not by much, if at all. Texas Tech is the best offense this team has
played, and they were mostly shut down. And that was a *bad game* for
Nebraska. If they play a good game, I don't see OU scoring more than 15-20
points tops.

Of course, that could easily result in a 15- or 20-0 game. But I think the
line reflects the most likely outcome: OU has a couple good drives, scores
around 17 points, and NU manages to eke out a couple scores (maybe with help
from Suh and Co). 17-10, OU?
