For the second time in three weeks, the No. 3-ranked Oklahoma football Sooners held off a scary upset bit by an unranked opponent.
Not something you would expect from a top-five team playing at home. Oklahoma never trailed in the 50-year anniversary of the 1971 “Game of the Century” on Saturday, but they was never able to separate either, holding off a refuse-to-lose Nebraska crew that came ready to play to win by a touchdown, 23-16.
The outcome was much closer than the oddsmakers projected — the Sooners were favored by 22 — but even more surprising was how low scoring the game was.
