I like the fact that their "strength" on offense is passing, and their "weakness" on defense is stopping the run. That's about as good a match-up as you could ask for for our team.

Here is an interesting stat - Oklahoma passed the ball 62 times against OSU on Saturday night. I hope the Nebraska defense is licking their chops at this opportunity.

Yes and it took 60 attempts to get to 300 yards... the last 2 were blown coverages as the safety bit on the play action.

That is a fair observation but we're reaching a point where the Big 12 Nay Two needs to do a little PR work themselves. I read something like this out of Utah (Linkster) and it leads me to believe that the conference needs to avoid any officiating disparities on Saturday in order to elude having the integrity of the league itself brought under national scrutiny. Daniel Beebe may aim a bitter internal dagger towards NU but surely he isn't so incompetent as to disregard his own future, which is interwoven with that of the conference, in favor of mere, fleeting emotion. Dan needs two more teams for balance, and more relevantly, for a conference championship and cash money. It's important for the conference to come out of this thing looking impartial, because any controversy on the 4th is going to potentially cripple this already half-dead league in terms of recruiting suitors to a conference already suffering under the slings of favoritism accusations. This would probably be of bigger focus nationally already if our HC hadn’t unintentionally diverted the focus onto himself with his behavior. In the interest of self-preservation, I don’t think he’ll do our divorcee any such favors this time around. It’ll be a non-issue anyways. I fully expect a balanced, clean game devoid of controversy. Both parties are desperate for a clean break.

As for that game...a lot can go wrong for an offensively driven team. If defense is your strength I think you have more stability as a team. Great defenses seem to remain consistently great, whereas teams with Ferrari offenses can break down at inopportune times. Saturday would count as an inopportune time. Landry threw the ball how many times? Who do we have in our secondary? Beautiful.

 
Prince Amukamara, Eric Hagg, Lavonte David really need to step it up this game
