Listen up, y'all! The US invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. The Huskers haven't really been the same since. The US formally withdrew from Afghanistan on August 31, 2021. We played and looked like crap against Illinois on August 28, before the withdrawal.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
On a real though, this one comes down to whether the offensive line can step up against what looks like a solid front 4 for Oklahoma. If they can, and can open up some lanes, get out to the edge, and give Adrian some time to throw, the Huskers may just have a puncher's chance. Now, unfortunately, we only have past performance to base our judgments on, so there's no expectation that the line will be able to accomplish that more times than they don't. So, the interior run game will struggle. Martinez will get pressured into some mistakes, which should be enough for Oklahoma to take it comfortably.
Culp makes both FG attempts, though. To give him some confidence.
