[Husker] There's a game tomorrow

I'm a little puzzled (and tired) of all that talk about Martinez' cell
phone use, and other past issues considering the BIG game tomorrow.
Regarding the game, I've grown more concerned about OU's rush defense.
While they are ranked #63 in rush defense, that appears to be due to an
aggressive style of play which, while it can give up few big plays,
makes it hard to mount a long drive. I base this from looking at the
play-by-play of OU's games against their better rushing opponents (FSU,
Air Force, Baylor, and OSU). There are also two OU stats which support
this - while OU is #40 in sacks, they are #18 in tackles-for-loss. It
would be nice if Martinez was healthy enough to take care of OU's
aggressive defense, but he isn't and while I think people underestimate
Green and Lee, they aren't big play threats.
Go Big Red!
