Oklahoma Football Notes and Articles
Oklahoma defeats Neb. 31-24: Adrian Peterson ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns and Oklahoma held off Nebraska's comeback bid to win 31-24 Saturday, giving the Cornhuskers back-to-back home losses in the same season for the first time since 1968. Peterson, coming off an ankle injury that limited him for a month, scored a 36-yard touchdown on his first carry. He added a 2-yard TD run in the second quarter as Oklahoma broke out to a 24-3 lead. Nebraska put together two straight TD drives in the second half to pull within a touchdown before the Sooners escaped with their first win in Lincoln since 1987. The Huskers, who lost 34-31 to Texas Tech here on Oct. 8, dropped consecutive home games for the first time since losing three in a row 37 years ago. Oklahoma (5-3, 4-1 Big 12) won its third straight and extended its regular-season winning streak over North Division opponents to 12. The Sooners haven't lost to a North team since a 20-10 defeat at Nebraska in 2001. Nebraska (5-3, 2-3) has now lost three of its last four after a 4-0 start. (Yahoo! Sports)
