Oklahoma vs. Nebraska Prediction: New Chapter for Cornhuskers Begins Against Familiar Foe

Mickey Joseph takes over as interim coach for the Cornhuskers after the dismissal of Scott Frost. The team has started the season 1-2 and lost to Northwestern and Georgia Southern. They play against Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon.

No. 7 Oklahoma takes on No. 1 Nebraska.

The Oklahoma Sooners offense sputtered early in last week's game versus the Kent State Golden Flashes. The Sooner outscored Kent by 26-0 in the second half. Marvin Mims had seven receptions for 163 yards and two touchdowns. Nebraska's defense gave up 642 yards to Georgia Southern last time.

Nebraska's offense is averaging 36 points per game this year. The Cornhuskers' first priority should be containing the Sooners' defensive line. OU leads the country in tackles for a loss with 23.

Nebraska is looking for a change in coaching staff after a disappointing season. The home team is expected to make it competitive into the second half. Oklahoma's rejuvenated defense should hold Nebraska in check long enough to help secure a double-digit win.
