OU: 3 storylines
A look at three key things to watch in today's OU-Nebraska contest.

A boy named Suh

Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh may be the nation's best defensive lineman. Next to him is a guy (Jared Crick) who set a school record with five QB sacks last week. The Huskers' starting DEs are 265 pounds each and have combined for five sacks and 16 tackles for loss. Oklahoma must play its best game up front.

Going Green

Freshman quarterback Cody Green is making his second career start. His debut was last week at Baylor. He'll be facing a different animal this week against the Sooners. OU ranks third nationally in rushing defense, third in tackles for lost yardage, fifth in sacks, eighth in points allowed and ninth in interceptions. The Sooners will attack the line of scrimmage and try to make the Huskers one-dimensional. Is Green up to the task?

Kick start

Oklahoma performed pretty well in its last road test at Kansas. But in front of one of college football's most effective home-field advantages — a huge and consistently in-your-face fan base — the Sooners have to maximize their chances in the kicking game: make the field goals, don't kickoff out of bounds, don't drop punt snaps, don't get anything blocked.
