Warning: no way Beebe lets Huskers win the Big 12 and then bolt to the Big 10. OU will be given this game. I don't take the time to post very often but thought this was important. Maybe find another game if you were leaning Huskers IMO! GL

Here's a few significant stats: Oklahoma has the #4 rated pass offense in Div 1. Nebraska has the #2 rated pass defense in Div 1.
Should be a close game. My favorite stat? Husker CB Prince Amukamara has had passes thrown at receivers he has covered 40 times this year. That's less than 4 times per game, and he usually covers the best WR on any team the Huskers have faced. Only thrown at less than 4 times per game...
He has allowed 11 completions. 5 of those were against arguably the best WR in college football, Justin Blackmon. That means that over 10 games (excluding Oklahoma State) Prince has allowed 6 receptions (far less than 1 per game, or a dead even 1 per game if you include Blackmon) against each team's top receiver.
For that reason, expect Ryan Broyles to be almost a non-factor in this game. With the Huskers' defense's team speed, expect DeMarco Murray to have limited success receiving as well. For OU to win, they will have to do it in the running game with Murray, which is the Huskers' weakness on defense.
Expect Nebraska to play well offensively, as Oklahoma ranks in the bottom half in the nation in pass defense and run defense, but they will play better than average in this game.
Oklahoma will be held to 27 or less in this game. If NU proves to be one-dimensional, they will probably score less than that. If their offense shows some originality and uses their playmakers like they should (like in the Colorado game), you may see Nebraska score up to 40 on this porous Oklahoma D.
For me, Nebraska can be too one-dimensional without a perfectly healthy Taylor Martinez. If he were healthy, I would go with NU. But I see OU winning by around 7-10, with the game being decided late. Expect a close game through 3 quarters, with lots of lead changes.
If Nebraska plays like they can on O, it's 37-27 NU. But it looks like OU 27-20 from the feel of it. I expect NU's inept OC Shawn Watson to get creative for this game about a week-and-a-half after it's over.
Long story short, OU -4.5 very small play.

More food for thought. Nebraska has lost only 1 game out of the last 30 by more than 7 points. That's 1 of 6 losses since Nov 1, 2008. The loss on that date? Destroyed by none other than Oklahoma, the team that played in (and lost) the National Championship that year.
This is the last game in one of the biggest rivalries in college football history. Huge for both sides.

I trust you brother
I feel Nebraska's defense and running game should be able to keep this game close...
Nebraska at the half +4
Nebraska final +6
Aloha and good luck to all

OU reminded me of just how explosive they can be at times last week as I lost with the Pokes. And yes I know they own OK State but if there was one of those years I really thought it would have been this one. Definitely won't lose going against 'em B2B weeks and if I do lose it'll be with 'em -- OU

I think it's a little strong to say the Sooners will be "given" this game, but I too wonder if a good deal of those calls that could go either way might go in O.U.'s favor. With that being said, a month ago I would still have loaded up on Nebraska. Not now. Boomer Sooner getting the points for a small play.

The Oklahoma Sooners looked like a team on a mission as they went into Stillwater and played well enough to take down the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The Sooners overcame some mistakes and for the most part made it look easy as they earned their place in this game. Landry Jones threw a few bad passes including one that was returned for a touchdown but he also made some clutch throws on some gutsy calls late that went for 80 yard plus touchdowns. For the season Jones has completed 66 percent of his passes for 3,947 yards with 34 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. DeMarco Murray is closing out his OU career in style rushing for 1,053 yards and 14 touchdowns while Roy Finch filled in for Murray towards the end for the game as Murray is dinged up and questionable for this one. Ryan Broyles has been a star at receiver with 115 catches for 1,391 yards and 13 touchdowns but it was Cameron Kenney and James Hanna who tuned in the big plays in the waning minutes at OSU. The Sooners defense has been vulnerable at times this season as they allowed 41 points last week, 24 to Baylor, 33 to Texas A&M, and 36 to Missouri. For the season Oklahoma is averaging 37.5 points and 480.1 yards while the defense is allowing 22.1 points and 369.8 yards per game.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers needed to win their final game of the season against Colorado to make it to this game and they were able to do so without their starting QB Taylor Martinez. Bo Pelini's Huskers rallied behind Cody Green and played their best game without Martinez of the year. Martinez is day to day and while if he is ready to go he will play, his status is still up in the air. Green has the better completion percentage than Martinez at 62.5 to 59.5 but Martinez adds the dimension of being able to break off a long run at any time rushing for 974 yards and 12 touchdowns on the year to go with his 1,435 passing yards and nine touchdowns. Roy Helu and Rex Burkhead have shared ttime in the backfield and there numbers were virtually even until recently but as of now Helu has rushed for 1,120 yards and 10 touchdowns while Burkhead has rushed for 822 yards and seven touchdowns. Niles Paul is listed as day to day but last week he was quoted as saying he would work hard to make it back by the Husker's bowl game so we can't expect him to be in uniform here. Brandon Kinnie is the main target now as he had two touchdown catches last week. Since giving up 30 points to Iowa State the Nebraska defense has been stingy allowing three, nine, and 17 points in their last three games. For the season Nebraska is averaging 33.8 points and 424.3 yards while the defense is allowing 16.8 points and 291.8 yards per game.
Oklahoma is 4-1 against the spread in their last five Big 12 games, 3-7 against the spread following a cover, and 1-3-1 against the spread in their last five neutral site games. Nebraska is 1-4 against the spread in their last five games following a cover, 22-46-2 in their last 70 games following following a win by 20 points or more, and 17-36 against the spread following a game where they have scored over 40 points. The favorite has covered in seven of the last 10 meetings of these two.
This should be a good one as the contrasting styles should make for an entertaining game. The Huskers came close last season to getting it done but fell just short. At this point we have to think Martinez is going to give it a go but just how effective will he be? I think without Martinez at 100 percent, the Sooners are the choice, if Martinez were healthy I would think Nebraska could win this game outright.
Sooners -4 at home

Both of these teams have let me down this year so I don't have strong confidence in either. I am taking OU for a small play because I think Jones can get hot throwing it and beat anyone on a given day. I also feel OU will get the close calls and that can be enough in a tight game. Nebraska got totally hosed at A&M, lot of animosity as they leave the conference.
OU -4 2X play
