Re: [Husker] Sooners

Last I heard murray will still hurt and wasn't gonna play on saturday.  If were gonna play a team with any strength I want it to be in the passing game because I have the most faith in our secondary to shut them down.  We truly have one of the best secondaries in the entire country.

I would be much more worried about playing oklahoma state because they have a much better rushing attack.

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!
