Getaway day for the Shriners Children’s College Showdown. The Huskers and Sooners renew an old rivalry as each team attempts to leave the spectacular Globe Life Field with a winning record in the showcase. Nebraska is coming off a frustrating loss, in which they hung with the #21 team in the country in Texas Tech until 2 outs in the 9th inning. Oklahoma on the other hand put together an upset of #9 Tennessee. They had to use extra innings to do so late last night, and are probably a little sleep deprived today.
Nebraska put the pressure on right away in the first inning.
