Steven M. Sipple: Ranking the Huskers' five key injured offensive players in terms of potential impact

Watching Nebraska's pregame warmups Saturday could be an awfully interesting, and important, exercise.

Who's playing and who's not?

Regarding the Huskers' key injuries, NU coach Scott Frost played it close to the vest this week as his team prepared to play third-ranked Oklahoma.

Make no mistake, though, the status of five injured Nebraska players on offense looms as one of the most critical storylines as the 11 a.m. kickoff (Fox) approaches.

All five players are potentially very valuable — each in his own way — to the Huskers' hopes of pulling off an upset.

We rank the five in terms of their potential impact.
