Oklahoma football

One of the most tradition-rich college football rivalries will return to Lincoln, Nebraska, for the first time since 2009 when No. 6 Oklahoma travels to ...

A second chance: There's no coincidence in Nebraska firing Frost a week before the rivalry game instead of letting the embattled coach go out with a whimper down the line. The game was played every year until 1997, but was was not a priority after the creation of the Big 12, which drew anger from fans and was at least a minor factor in the 'Huskers leaving the conference for the Big Ten. Venables was a former coordinator on the 2000 Oklahoma national championship team and stayed in Norman for 13 seasons. While Nebraska is struggling, the talent jump -- along with a new coaching direction -- makes this game slightly trickier than early results would assume.

Joseph came to Nebraska after five years as an offensive assistant at [LSU](https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/teams/LSU/lsu-tigers/). Receiver [Marvin Mims](/college-football/players/3162586/marvin-mims/) was sensational with seven catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Now, Nebraska will try to use this nationally televised game as an opportunity to start from scratch and build some momentum against a historic foe. However, they went on to score 24 unanswered in the third quarter behind 296 yards passing and three touchdowns from quarterback [Dillon Gabriel](/college-football/players/3121534/dillon-gabriel/). The series will also return in 2029 and 2030. Oklahoma beat Nebraska last year 23-16, but the Sooners' high-powered attack was held to just 5.9 yards per play. Emotions will be high as this will be the first game for the Cornhuskers since firing ex-coach Scott Frost on Sunday on the heels of a stunning, unforgivable upset at home.

Friday night is for high school football, and several Oklahoma 2023 commits stood out under the lights!

The OU and the N will once again collide. [Oklahoma Sooners](https://www.crimsonandcreammachine.com) are in Lincoln, Nebraska for the first time since 2009. Additionally, no one really knows what to expect from this Nebraska team in the wake of the firing of Scott Frost, adding another layer of intrigue to this rivalry’s 88th game.

John Hoover, Ryan Chapman and Josh Callaway offer their real-time observations from the Sooners' game at Nebraska.

Fox’s Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush just posed for a photo on the big “N” at midfield. Just saw tight ends coach Joe Jon Finley and defensive coordinator Ted Roof go out of their way to pat Wanya Morris on the back. Hasn’t dialed up much pressure through the first two weeks, and the Sooners burst through the ‘Husker line like a knife through butter. Comes out on that drive and the positive plays were all passing downfield. Poor kid just got sacked for the third time this quarter by Jalen Redmond to end the drive. Interesting throwback look for the Sooners on that goal line play: their most physical runner (Marcus Major) gets the football behind their stout walk-on RB-turned-fullback (Tawee Walker) and they plow into the end zone behind a two-tight end front. Ethan Downs opens the drive by beating his man and annihilating Trey Palmer on a jet-sweep pass. Looked like a close call either way, but instead of lighting up the official, the OU staff went to work trying to correct Davis’ technique. DaShaun White is playing the game of his life, and he just got ejected for targeting on Casey Thompson. Ethan Downs gets another sack to end the Husker drive and Oklahoma will get the ball back with 2:55 before half — after an adventure on the punt return. Brent Venables has been eating the Nebraska offense alive with his Cheetah blitzes. Davis Beville might get to throw the ball today.

Week 3 of the college football season is underway with Oklahoma, Nebraska, Baylor and more in action. Here are the top plays!

The No. Through two games, the Sooners ranked first in the country in tackles for loss and third in sacks. Gabriel held on to the ball too long on the first possession of the game and ate a sack that put the Sooners behind the chains.

The No. 6-ranked Sooners dominated both lines of scrimmage and put on a show offensively and defensively against a wounded Cornhusker squad.

Kanak ended up leading the Sooners with 10 tackles. But OU quarterback Dillon Gabriel may have broken the Huskers spirit on the Sooners’ next possession with his second-down scramble that turned into an unlikely 61-yard touchdown sprint. It was Oklahoma's biggest win in Lincoln since a 48-0 blowout in 1949, and was the most points OU has ever scored on the Huskers in Lincoln.
