LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska and Oklahoma have been laying it on the line all season.
The defensive line, that is.
The Cornhuskers' Ndamukong Suh and the 20th-ranked Sooners' Gerald McCoy are the best known of the men in the middle, but they've gotten plenty of help as their teams' defenses have developed into a couple of the most powerful in the nation.
No doubt, the boys up front will be a focal point when the teams meet Saturday night.
The Huskers (5-3, 2-2 Big 12) have their strongest defensive front since All-Americans Jason Peter and Grant Wistrom were winning national championships in the mid-1990s.
The Sooners (5-3, 3-1) have a line comparable to those headed up by All-American Tommie Harris and Dusty Dvoracek in the early 2000s.
