We expected a defensive battle when Nebraska and Oklahoma hooked up.
But nothing like how the game is turning out.
Nebraska holds a narrow 7-3 lead over the Sooners at halftime, despite producing only one first down.
The Cornhuskers have amassed 80 yards of total offense so far. Most of that came on a 63-yard run by Roy Helu Jr.
Oklahoma has been a little more effective, especially when they started running a no-huddle offense. Their defense has played strongly and will be challenging to either Zac Lee or Cody Green.
Both Nebraska quarterbacks have been ineffective. The Nebraska quarterbacks have completed 3-of-7 passes for 5 yards. And it won't be any easier for them in the second half.
