[Husker] Sooners

Agreed.  Nebraska will face a big challenge Dec. 4th.

Landry Jones is #23 in passing efficiency and OU's top receivers are:
   Ryan Broyles (#1 in receptions/game; #3 in receiving yards/game)
   Kenny Stills (#89 in receptions/game)
   DeMarco Murray (#41 in receptions/game)

It will be interesting to see how Nebraska defends Broyles and Murray 
(out of the backfield).

Some other stats:
   OU is #41 in sacks allowed (not bad considering how often they pass) 
while Nebraska is #31 in sacks.
     Also, Nebraska is #7 in interceptions.
   OU is #18 in tackles for loss while Nebraska is #104.  This makes me 
wonder if OU plays an attacking rush defense.
   OU is #13 in turnover margin while Nebraska is #35.
   OU is #69 in red zone efficiency while Nebraska is #107 in red zone 
efficiency defense.
   Nebraska is #27 in red zone efficiency while OU is #116 in red zone 
efficiency defense.

Go Big Red!
