Nebraska intercepts OU's Landry Jones 5 times in 10-3 win
Published: November 7, 2009
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Matt O'Hanlon had three of Nebraska's five interceptions against Landry Jones and the Cornhuskers squeezed enough production out of their struggling offense to upset No. 20 Oklahoma 10-3 on Saturday night.

The Sooners (5-4, 3-2 Big 12) failed to score a touchdown for the first time since a 29-0 loss to Texas A&M in 1998.
The Cornhuskers (6-3, 3-2) won despite getting just seven first downs and 180 total yards. They were able to get a yard when they really needed it, after Prince Amukamara returned an interception to the OU 1 in the second quarter. Zac Lee threw a short pass to Ryan Hill for the only touchdown of the game.
Oklahoma's last two possessions ended on interceptions, including O'Hanlon's third.
O'Hanlon ran back his first interception 30 yards to set up Alex Henery's 28-yard field goal.
Roy Helu Jr. ran for 138 yards on 20 carries for Nebraska.

A stupid ou fan.
I know, I know....it's a big club.
Nebraska is terrible. Even in Lincoln.
But your swooners swooned once again...make that 4 times already with more tough games to come.
Look at the silver lining -- Swooner fans won't embarrass themselves in a big bowl this year.
And Shreveport is an easy drive.
Time for another raise for Stoops, isn't it?!

Typical intelligent comments from an inbred named "Billy Bob."
OU may be big for the State of Oklahoma but they pale in comparison to any of the SEC or BIG 10 schools (being originally from Edmond that hard for me to say because its going to cause this board to flame up) but neither of the state schools in Oklahoma are even close. I'd love to know your logic for this. The Sooners just choked and lost to a number #39 ranked Nebraska Cornhusker squad and will probably be lucky if it gets to watch a bowl on TV let alone play in one. Anybody notice a pattern here. Thats what 3-4 years in a row that the Sooners have started high in the polls and collapsed by seasons end.
Now you have the audacity to call yourself an elite program. Its bad enough that the Big XII commissioner is out that pleading for 6-6 teams to go bowls, but the Sooners have made a mockery of the entire BIG XII today
Trent Williams is a disaster. Adron Tennell is worth of Louisiana Tech. And Landry Jones just proved to be the return of Patrick Fletcher. Lastly, our coaching is absolutely horrendous. Just horrendous.
2010 needs to bring a new era in rebuilding the program!
And I'm sorry to say it, but yes, we need to rebuild this program!
OU has given Stoops enough money, and for what?
Bob, please move on! Please go! Just go, and take all of the other joke of a coaching staff with you !!!!!
Can't even score a single TD against Nebraska? Love it! Please bring that same game plan to Bedlam. Poooor Soooonneerrss!

So, tell me......how many "Big-12 and National" football championships do the Tractor Tech Cowboys have in their trophy case?
Since you live in the land of fruits and nuts, I would venture to guess you won't have any trouble getting laid - by anyone of the same sex.

Go post on your side and keep smoking turkey drugs.
When you consider how well their defense has done when their offense goes 3 and out or worse yet, turns the ball over 8 times in one game, you come to realize, the Huskers might just have the best defense in the nation.
Yes OU's offense isn't great, but that happens when the O-line turns over. Experience and time are critical on the O-line, now more so than ever.
Get behind Stoops, it is incredibly difficult with scholarship changes, etc. to dominate for long. OU will be very good again soon.
adron tennell= horrible
landry jones= put up big numbers against bad teams. look out for blake bell
chris brown= looks worse than he did as a sophomore
As for OU, same thing, pretty young on the offensive side of things, but considering the defense, they aren't that far away. Next year will be better for both.
Either way, I sure wish we could have kept OU vs NU as an every year game. Best wishes for the rest of the season.
Your hero has only outcoached one individual in a truly big game.....Bobby Bowden. All the rest of his big games are the wreckage of his arrogance to not make adjustments or to properly analyze his talented squads. Ok, he's still better than Howard and Blake, but these losses feel just the same as did theirs.
Oh Campaneus
Can't even score a single TD against Nebraska? Love it! Please bring that same game plan to Bedlam. Poooor Soooonneerrss!
Seriously though, my anger comes down to not just this season. A bad season...okay. Look at LSU last year. They went 7-5, kept Les Miles, and are doing very well this season with their only losses to the #1 and #3 teams in college football! But Les Miles is also 4-0 in bowl games there and doesn't repeatedly embarrass the program. Now don't take me out of context and say I want Miles here, I'm just making a point.
Bob hasn't won a BCS Bowl Game since January 1, 2003 when we beat Washington State in the Rose Bowl. 2004: lost to LSU. 2005: lost to USC. 2007: lost (in my opinion embarrassingly) to Boise State. 2008: lost to West Virginia. 2009: lost to Florida. Okay, we beat Misery twice and got two Big Two (or three), Little Ten (or nine) Championships. Some argue letting Stoops go would devastate our recruiting. What recruiting? OU is a "big name" program and will always have people like Sam Bradford who dream of playing at OU. Also, I bet if whoever came in focused all energy on recruiting in Oklahoma, assuming they could coach, we would have a national champion caliber team in two years.
All of you apologists and "loyal" fans need to wear OU jerseys with the numbers of either "70" or "80" so no good coach will let you near the field.
Sponge Bob is the problem, and he's turned into Howard and Blake.
Got a question for you faithful, did you ever consider that Stoops IS doing a great job with what he has and when you get right down to it, the Sooners just are not very good this year?
All said, you do have a legitimate gripe about HOW they got here if that is the problem. Pretty much sums up the validity of so called gurus like Mel Kiper, Scouts, Rivals, etc. Rating a kid coming out of high school is about as accurate as ranking college teams before week 5 or 6....or predicting the weather.
With all of those 5* recuits, you would think that Stoops could coach them up a bit better.
