It has not been an easy 2021 season for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and fourth-year head coach Scott Frost. The Cornhuskers wanted to get their third win of the season and a big win over a former conference foe in the No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners.

Even though Oklahoma gave Nebraska every chance to take the lead, Nebraska couldn’t find a chance or the rhythm to upset Oklahoma. The Sooners took a 7-3 lead in the first quarter as Heisman Trophy contending quarterback Spencer Rattler was making mistakes left and right.

Nebraska had a chance to cut the lead to one point, but Conner Culp failed to convert a 50-yard field goal in the middle of the second quarter. Oklahoma continued to add to their lead in the third quarter as they barely outscored Nebraska 9-6.

After an Oklahoma touchdown that gave them a 23-9 lead, Nebraska needed a score to get back into the game but an interception from quarterback Adrian Martinez turned into a disaster. In their next drive, Nebraska was able to account for a three-play, 38-yard drive that resulted in a 21-yard touchdown pass from Martinez to Omar Manning to cut the lead to 23-16.

The Cornhuskers were unable to get a drive going as they got their last possession back with 40 seconds left in the game. Oklahoma outgained Nebraska in total yards accounted for 408-to-384, but it was the interception from Martinez that was too much for them to overcome.

Here’s what Frost had to say after his team’s performance:
