Who owns the all-time series lead?
The Crimson and Cream lead the all-time series 45-39-2. The Cornhuskers won the first-ever meeting, 13-9 in 1912 before battling the Sooners into a 7-7 draw in 1919. Oklahoma would lose the following three matchups before earning its first win, 14-7 in 1924.
A historic 15-year run from 1943-1956 provides Oklahoma its six-game cushion in the win column. OU picked up 16 consecutive wins during that decade and a half.
