I think this game will be closer than people think. Nebraskas D has quietly improved quite a bit over the last year plus and the Huskers offense is actually pretty good ( if they can manage to not shoot themselves in the foot )

If Nebraska can stay disciplined the entire game I see a 38-28 type OU win

I think OU will be covering the 22 - 22.5 at some point in the game (leading by 28 or 29) but Nebraska gets a garbage TD late to either cover or push.

Nebraska lacks special team play, an O-line for rushing or pass protection, and just overall discipline regarding turnovers and penalties. This "Master at shooting themselves in the foot" has not changed in 4 years, nor does it get fixed in a week. There's no attention to detail on this team.
Get an INT?...... Negate that play with 'Roughing the passer" AND "Un-sportsman like conduct for excessive celebration". Not only does the opponent get the ball back, they get the ball back with 30 yds of penalties tacked on. That actually happened at mid-field giving the opponent the ball at Nebraska's 20 yd line.

I do like the Unders because I doubt Nebraska puts more than 17 on the board. The question is how many points Nebraska gives OU on turnovers? i.e. Fumbles/INT's deep in Nebraska territory.
OU will likely get good field position from Nebraska committing penalties and having to punt from deep in it's own territory.

UTSA > Illinois >> Nebraska
Virginia >>>>>> Illinois >> Nebraska

If Nebraska is moving the ball at any point then Grinch just needs to change the look of his defensive front (3 to 4 or 4 to 3). That will cause Nebraska to "Throw out half of it's playbook".

That shit play is Nebraska's only 'Identity'.

You don't have to beat Nebraska, just play disciplined football and let Nebraska beat themselves.
If I'm a head coach of the opposing team I tell them that the entire week of practice and remind them in the locker room before the game and at halftime. Keep things very basic and wait for the opportunities that Nebraska gives you.

You don't go (4-8) losing 12 of 20 by one score or less by being an organized/disciplined team.
Particularly when you have equal or more talent than the vast majority of those 12.
Of the 8 losses that were more than one score, Nebraska had equal or more talent than half of those.

Keys to Nebraska winning:

Zero turnovers
Create turnovers
Minimal penalties
Win the field position battle

We're screwed
 
I'm just telling you guys that Frost has something special saved up.
It will be much closer than you think it will.

I expect a trick play or two, but none of that matters if you can't execute it.

You watch.... If it's successful it'll be called back because 1 guy in 11 will do something stupid.
 
If this was an OU/Colorado game with this much attention I would fully expect them to play dirty.......anything to get an edge.....even if it meant knocking people completely out of the game/season. Those are some dirty SOB's. But not Nebraska. Heck, even Texas plays clean football. But Colorado? Those are some garbage human beings on the field in certain games.
