Upon further review: Oklahoma
Ndamukong Suh showed Saturday night that he is the best defensive tackle in college football. Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy was in the same conversation as being the best at their position, but a review of the stats shows Suh with a big separation.
Suh has 53 total tackles, 47 for a loss, 5 sacks, one INT, one forced fumble, three blocked kicks, and eight pass breakups. McCoy on the other hand has 22 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, one pass breakup, nine QB hurries, and one forced fumble.
If numbers aren't good enough for you, consider that Suh can catch passes out of the backfield and dunk a basketball too. And did I mention he bench presses 470 pounds?
I have a suggestion for our offensive woes. When we get into Alex Henery's field goal range, why not just kick the dang ball and take our three points. That would have been good enough to beat Iowa State at least. In all seriousness though, unless we get an offensive "identity" it will be hard to recruit good players on that side of the ball. On the defensive side, who wouldn't want to play for the #2 ranked scoring defense in the country, or the #9 ranked rushing defense, or the #11 ranked total defense?
Speaking of recruits, the Huskers hauled in three over the weekend, all of whom are defensive players. Jay Guy, Tobi Okuyemi, and Joshua Mitchell all gave their verbal commitment to the Huskers. All three attended the Oklahoma game.
Finally, the Huskers failed to leap into the Top 25 after taking down Oklahoma. NU is ranked #30 and #33 in the Coaches and AP polls respectively. Maybe a win at Kansas will be enough. If not, then a win over K-State should do the trick.

Even though you jest, I agree with you. After the third turnover inside the red zone versus Iowa State, we should have settled for a field goal once we got within the 30 yard line. That game still makes me angry. I cannot, for the life of me, think of a worse team that has ever won in Lincoln.
