I think we'll definitely see the best version of Nebraska in this one. Sooners win a close one.How's that any different than the past five years
How's that any different than the past five yearsIt's really not. I was tempted to even pick an upset here until GA Southern happened. Maybe worth taking a shot on Nebraska if they are +400 or so.
I'd say Mickey has a decent chance to become the head coachSay hi to @CWSooner (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1544) ,haven't seen him here lately.
IF, (big if) someone better isn't available.
Mickey is thought to be the best recruiter on the staff. I'd guess that's why he's the interim head coach. Trying to hold recruiting together in the middle of a shit show.
He's an up & comer - some folks at Nebraska don't want to see him slip away to another program.
Obviously, no head coaching experience at this level. Was assistant head coach at LSU.
It will be interesting to see how the team plays Saturday morning. Perhaps the Sooners are over confident??
CW Sooner and I will be there.
I'm hoping the same thing as last season in Norman... no blowout, keep it a game into the 4th quarter.
he sticks mostly to the backporchSuch high aspirations...
poking the Horn fans is his thing
I really expect Nebraska to be very up for this gameDon’t see it.
OU 30
Neb 25
Don’t see it.Look closer
They just lost to freaking GA Southern and the prodigal son golden boy just got fired. My guess is they’ll be deflated.
OU is going to pummel them.
It's more about Oklahoma than Nebraska. They were up 7-3 at halftime last week against Kent State. They are vulnerable to an upset.It’s difficult for a team to get up every week and sometimes enough tougher when it’s known the talent level you’re facing is low. Oklahoma came out at halftime and did whatever they wanted. I expect them to be fully prepared for Nebraska.
or.......never say neveror…Nebraska could really just suck. I think they kinda just suck.
The Sooners' O-line has not gelled into a unit. It paved the way for 7 yards rushing in the 1st half against Kent State.be very careful about that shark water
I have my doubts about Jeff Lebby as our OC. He's earned a good reputation at UCF and Ole Miss, both places working under an offensive-guru HFC. Now he has a defensive guru for a boss. Maybe Josh Heupel and Lane Kiffin were responsible for his previous successes.
Oklahoma should win, but I won't be shocked if it goes the other way.
I'm looking forward to meeting Fearless.
I'm hoping it's extremely strange
It’s difficult for a team to get up every week and sometimes enough tougher when it’s known the talent level you’re facing is low. Oklahoma came out at halftime and did whatever they wanted. I expect them to be fully prepared for Nebraska.for the record, Vegas had Nebraska as -23 last week. -23! My only regret was not parlaying my GASO +23 play with the Iowa total under and the AFA -16. I was not able to three way with a total.
Vegas sees this as somewhat close and they almost always know more than I do, but to me it looks like the easiest bet of the year.
Well then it all starts with an extremely strange tailgate.Keep Fearless out of your fantasies
Chocolate covered grasshoppers with chick drinks.

| Well this sure as hell isn't what we wanted. The first Oklahoma-Nebraska home and home series since 2008-2009, and while Nebraska made it a game last year, it featured arguably the worst back to back Cornhusker teams in two generations. 8 wins over 2016-2017 was the program's worst two year stretch since Bill Jennings had 7 in 1960 and 1961. Nebraska needs to go 4-5 the rest of the way to match that. In fairness, Scott Frost started at Nebraska when Oklahoma was at rock bottom. His Huskers beat a pair of Oklahoma teams that went 7-16, by a combined score of 142-28, over his two years as starter in 1996 and 1997. My how the turntables. The Sooners' offense doesn't look quite the same without Lincoln Riley (and, in fairness, Caleb Williams), but Brent Venables has the defense rolling. It seems like Jeff Lebby finally figured out his running back situation, and Eric Gray and Marcus Major feel like a solid 1-2 punch going forward. I think Jovantae Barnes' time is up, because Gray and Major combined for 15 carries and 109 yards, for 7.3 ypc. Barnes might be the future back there, but he can't be the 1b, while averaging 2.3 ypc, against a bad MAC team, like Kent State. The Sooner defense is being bolsted by sophomore linebacker Danny Stusman. Stutsman was an overlooked, low 3* recruit, whose only other Power 5 offers were Baylor and Kansas State, the second lowest rated recruit in the Sooners' class. But he's #7 in the nation in tackles, giving me strong Rocky Calmus out of nowhere vibes. Last year, as the Texas starter, Casey Thompson threw for 388 yards, 5 touchdowns, and no interceptions, in the Red River Shootout. He'll have to do that again to give the Huskers a chance, but remember, even doing that a year ago, Texas lost |

kinda my thoughts. I think Oklahoma drills them.

How many times can we fire Frost? Once doesn't feel like enough.Lol
OU 45
Buskers 20
Well it wasn’t a 1 score loss
After a rousing opening drive, the Huskers had no answers on either side of the ball. Oklahoma reeled off seven touchdowns and rolled to a 49-14 win in Mickey Joseph’s debut as Nebraska’s interim head coach.Maybe he'll start drinking to - do the right thing and give him some of your Sharkwater. How is CWS?
