Nebraska appeared ready to add the clinching blow after marching to the Oklahoma 26 on their recent drive.
But Alex Henery misfired on a 43-yard field goal attempt -- snapping a streak of 23 field goal attempts inside the 50 -- to keep Nebraska's lead at 10-3 with 5:30 left.
The Cornhuskers have produced only seven first downs in the game. But their defense has turned the Sooners away inside Nebraska territory on seven different occasions.
The Sooners are mounting one last chance. Landry Jones appears to be gaining confidence with every throw.
It will be interesting to see if he can finally score a touchdown.
The way they have struggled tonight, if they could finally score, it would be reminiscent of the "Sooner Magic" of Barry Switzer's coaching tenure.
