The standard equation to win games was definitely in play on Saturday night. Win the turnover battle + run the ball + stop their run + stout defense = win. OK, so we got too many penalties, and didn't get...

This week's game was going to be the ultimate barometer of where the Huskers stood in their second season under head coach Bo Pelni. Going into the season, it looked like the toughest game on the schedule. Even if the...

A handful of freshman made an impact last week against Baylor - names like Green, Martin, Blatchford, and Robinson. Do you have their numbers memorized yet? Curious to see how Cody Green's first start performance compares to Tommie Frazier's...
The Biggest Win in Eight Years?

Given Oklahoma's struggles this year, a win saturday probably wouldn't qualify as a "signature win" to most around the country, but it would be the biggest win in Lincoln in quite some time. Try eight years since Frank Solich's team...

A win over Oklahoma in Lincoln would do a lot for Nebraska. It would put the Huskers in great position to win the Big 12 North, it would give the team enormous confidence, and it would prevent a three-game home...

Most people look at Nebraska’s 2009 schedule and mark down the home game against Oklahoma as a loss. The Sooners were 11 points from a national championship a year ago and returns nine starters on defense as well as a...

While the Huskers were resting on their bye week, other teams were playing. And, fans were watching some games and scoreboards very closely. Two scores jump off this morning’s sports page more than the others. Let's start with Oklahoma 65,...

For the Record
As I write, Nebraska and Oklahoma are still three hours from kickoff. Nevertheless, one thing is apparent. Bo Pelini’s most important coaching job begins after this game ends. Win or lose. Close game or not competitive. This is the kind...

Call me a homer all you want, but I think that Nebraska has a chance to win this game (anything more than 0% is a chance). I've always said that I have trouble separating my innate fandom from my analysis...

As if the similarities and rivalry between Nebraska and Oklahoma was not extensive enough. There is still another compelling story line to Saturday's game. It features two programs that have chosen to subvert their authentic but obscure mascots with idiotic...

The historic NU/OU rivalry is renewed in Norman on Saturday. On paper, it appears that the Sooners should dominate the Huskers in almost every statistical category. The Sooners average over 500 yards per game. They have the 3rd most...

Not to reopen old wounds, but in retrospect I think my biggest complaint of the Bill Callahan era was that there was no one thing a Husker fan could point to that Nebraska did well. No calling card, no identity,...

Most realistic Nebraska fans look at NU's scheduled meeting with the Oklahoma Sooners on November 1st, and see a likely loss. Who can blame them? Under Bob Stoops, the Sooners have been stout, especially in Norman. On the other hand,...

People might point to Oklahoma’s recent string of unimpressive post-season performances and conclude that something is wrong. They might be right. No, the Sooners do not have a deeply troubled program. The recruiting is firing on all cylinders, they contend...

Though not technically on Nebraska’s schedule for 2007 (yet), you can’t count the Sooners out as a contender for the Big 12. While the Sooners return only six starters on defense, when have we ever seen a Bob Stoops...

There are a number of reasons to be disappointed with the Husker's performance on Saturday. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is all of the missed opportunities. Consider: NU's offense ran 71 total plays. OU ran 63. Of NU's 71 plays, 42...
