Nebraska-Oklahoma pregame observations: Could NU be closer to full strength vs. OU? | Football



NORMAN, Okla. — Nebraska and Oklahoma are set to kick off at 11 a.m. here at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium. 

Here are a few pregame observations: 

* Defensive lineman Casey Rogers (left knee) is in uniform for early warmups for the Huskers. He’s missed the first three games of the season. 

* At least four of the five Nebraska skill players who were out with injuries by the time NU’s win over Buffalo wrapped up are on the trip to OU. 

Wide receivers Omar Manning and Zavier Betts and tight ends Austin Allen and Travis Vokolek are all part of Nebraska’s roughly 85-man travel roster. Whether all play or not, we’ll have a better idea as warmups get going. 

Allen (head) and Vokolek (left ankle/foot) playing would give Nebraska its two top tight ends playing together for the first time this season. Vokolek (6-6, 260) missed the first three games after getting hurt during preseason camp. Allen (6-9, 255) hit the ground hard on his only catch in the first half against UB last week.
