The No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners travel to Lincoln to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the second part of a home-and-home series. Last year’s matchup in Norman featured a hotly-contested defensive battle as the two teams worked to slow down Spencer Rattler, now with South Carolina and Adrian Martinez, now with Kansas State.
In the early part of this season, the contest has the makings of a much different football game.
Both teams have scored more than 36 points per game and averaged more than 461 yards of total offense per game. While the two teams look like they’ll put up a bunch of points in this game, the game will still be decided by which defense can make more stops.
Statistically, it appears Oklahoma has the edge, but it hasn’t played a team that has been as productive offensively as the Casey Thompson-led Nebraska Cornhuskers.
To get you ready for Saturday, let’s take a look at these two teams by the numbers.
