John Hoover of the Tulsa World: "The temptation may have been there for Oklahoma to turn one eye to Lubbock, Texas. Instead, the Sooners set their full attention on Nebraska. Poor Nebraska. OU embarrassed (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sports/extra/article.aspx?subjectID=92&tab=ou&articleid=20081101_298_NORM801558) the Cornhuskers..."
Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman: "From outside the Red Room came the roar (http://newsok.com/sooners-back-in-title-chase/article/3318420/?custom_click=lead_story_title). It came from down the hallway, from Sooner gladiators gathered around an equipment room, after their 62-28 dismantling of Nebraska..."
John Shinn of the Norman Transcript: "No. 4 OU blasted Nebraska 62-28 behind a first-quarter blitzkrieg (http://www.normantranscript.com/sports/local_story_307012751.html?keyword=topstory) never before seen in the historic rivalry. A little more than 5 minutes into the game, the Sooners led 28-0. Nebraska..."
From the Omaha World-Herald: "Coach Bo Pelini (http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=3918&u_sid=10396039) did not allow Nebraska's assistant coaches and players to do interviews with members of the news media after the Huskers were blown out 62-28 by No. 4 Oklahoma Saturday night..."
Mike Jones of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Off to a first-drive scoring march and boosted (http://www.star-telegram.com/college_sports/story/1013211.html) by three quickly caused defensive turnovers, OU rolled to a 49-14 halftime lead -- as a packed house also cheered the early news..."
From the Lincoln Journal Star: "As Pelini spoke to reporters late Saturday night, thousands (http://journalstar.com/blog/huskers.php) of Oklahoma fans remained in the stadium to watch TV monitors that showed Texas Tech upsetting top-ranked Texas. You can guess which team..."
From the Grand Island Independent: "Apparently when former coaching legend Barry Switzer (http://www.theindependent.com/huskershq/x635422601/Oklahoma-catches-Huskers-with-early-haymaker) tells this year's Sooners squad to "go out and hang half a hundred," they think it means to get the job done in the first half. One week..."
From the Omaha World-Herald: "Oklahoma's 62 points were the Sooners' most ever (http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=3918&u_sid=10476005) against Nebraska, topping the 55 points in a 55-7 whipping in 1954. Go back through all the painful NU losses of recent seasons and you would find..."
From the Lincoln Journal Star: "But I have no problem believing if these teams played here another five times, the message the Sooners would deliver would be the same: "You're not ready (http://huskerextra.com/articles/2008/11/02/football/doc490d2a7d02844396178381.txt) for us."
From the Grand Island Independent: "The 35 points allowed by Nebraska in the first quarter of Saturday's game is the most ever (http://www.theindependent.com/huskershq/x1588600615/Nebraska-Game-Notes) allowed in a quarter by Nebraska. The previous record was 28 points on three occasions..."
Clay Horning of the Norman Transcript: "You have to like the Sooners' position (http://www.normantranscript.com/sports/local_story_307012222.html), even if there's no way on Earth to determine what it might be. Or, put another way, welcome to the craziest college football season since last season..."
From the Grand Island Independent: "It was a beautiful early-November evening Saturday in Norman, Okla., but things turned ugly (http://www.theindependent.com/huskershq/x1016926422/OU-dominates-Huskers) in a hurry for Nebraska and coach Bo Pelini. The No. 4-ranked Sooners took advantage of three..."
From the Lincoln Journal Star: "Nebraska was out-talented, outcoached and outplayed. Any other questions (http://huskerextra.com/articles/2008/11/02/football/doc490d207f1d067604478888.txt)? Certainly none for Nebraska players, who were made off-limits for postgame interviews. "I'm not talking about it..."
John Helsley of the Oklahoman: "That quick. That decisive. Franks (http://www.newsok.com/article/3318437) flipped all momentum OU's way with his Pick 6 - a full-speed-the-other-way interception of a Joe Ganz screen pass - zipping 19 yards to the score. "Dom Franks..."
From the Grand Island Independent: "Bradford pilfered Nebraska for 311 passing yards and five touchdowns by that point. And OU rolled up 508 yards of total offense, which would've been much higher had it not shut it down (http://www.theindependent.com/huskershq/x1197769997/Husker-defense-struggles-again)..."
From the Lincoln Journal Star: "It was late in the second quarter Saturday night when ESPN cameras found Tom Osborne and Barry Switzer along the sideline. The sight of those two legends in the same area code still elicits goose bumps (http://huskerextra.com/articles/2008/11/02/football/doc490d3919d96b7663490549.txt)..."
From the Grand Island Independent: "Adding to the surreal atmosphere (http://www.theindependent.com/huskershq/x1197769995/No-comment-Pelini-muzzles-players-assistants) outside Nebraska's locker room was a horde of Oklahoma fans who were sticking around to watch TV screens showing the conclusion of the key..."
