The Big 12's reputation for offensive wizardry is taking a big step back tonight in Lincoln, Neb.

Oklahoma and Nebraska are playing one of the fiercest defensive battles I can remember.

After the first quarter, the two teams have combined for two first downs, 33 total yards and are 1-for-9 in third-down conversions.

Oklahoma kicker Tress Way has missed a field goal from 46 yards and had another one blocked from 45 yards.

Ndamukong Suh has been all over the field in an infomercial for his All-America chances. He's blocked a field goal and blocked a pass and been a force on every play.

Nebraska still is looking for its first first down after five possessions. Freshman Cody Green has completed 2 of 5 passes. And Oklahoma's Landry Jones has completed only 1 of 7.

The first team to score in this game might end up winning it -- considering how well both defenses are playing.
