Saturday at 11 am on FOX, Nebraska football will take on No. 3 ranked Oklahoma Sooners for the 87th time. OU is favored by 22.5 points, per WynnBET. That seems like a lot, but it’s not when you consider the Huskers like leaving lots of points on the table.

Sooner or later they need to get that figured out. All you really need to know about Oklahoma is they are ranked No. 3 for lots of reasons.

There is a lot of rivalry history, which I won’t bore you with right now.
