Oklahoma has too much offensive firepower for NU

The traditional rivalry is back as Nebraska and Oklahoma will play Saturday night at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. The game is set for a 7 p.m. kickoff and will be televised by ABC. Both teams come into the game with records of 5-3, but Oklahoma has been playing better football as of late compared to the Huskers.

Both teams have coaches who are alumni of Cardinal Mooney High School in Youngstown, Ohio. Bob Stoops is known for a solid defense and big play offense at Oklahoma while Bo Pelini is known for aggressive defenses and a struggling offense at Nebraska. Coach Pelini worked for Stoops as a co-defensive coordinator at OU in 2004, so there are no secrets between the two lifelong friends.
