Oklahoma has played four top-40 rushing offenses. Here are the results 
and rankings(ordered by date):
   vs Florida State (#34)     47-17
   vs Air Force     ( #2)     27-24
    @ Baylor        (#23)     53-24
    @ Oklahoma St.  (#31)     47-41

Nebraska is the best rushing offense OU has faced while OU is one of the 
weaker rushing defenses Nebraska has faced.  OU's pass efficiency 
defense is comparable to Missouri's and Texas A&M's and Nebraska will 
need to be careful.

OU is the 2nd best pass efficiency offense (behind OSU) Nebraska has 
faced and Nebraska is the best pass efficiency defense OU has faced.  OU 
is a poor rushing team and Nebraska should be able to focus on pass defense.

Go Big Red!
