Nebraska will face a fourth backup quarterback in as many weeks, but the way that this Oklahoma offense is designed, Landry Jones could cause NU some problems.

The redshirt freshman quarterback is apparently talented enough to keep Husker defensive coordinator Carl Pelini concerned. He said after practice today that the Sooners' style isn't easy to defend.

“They have a nice scheme,” Pelini said. “They create good match-ups and we've got to try to counter that. And we've got to play fast or we're going to be in trouble.”

Oklahoma piled up 62 points and 508 offensive yards against Nebraska last year. However, that was mostly done under the direction of Sam Bradford, whose injured shoulder will keep him out for the rest of season.

The Sooner offense isn't exactly the same unstoppable force of 2008, but Oklahoma does average 33.1 points per game, ranking 20th nationally.

In eight games this year, Jones passes for an average of 207 yards and completes 62.4 percent of his throws. He's thrown 17 touchdowns and six interceptions.

The Huskers ideally would like to pressure the inexperienced signal caller, though Pelini said the improving OU offensive line won't make that easy. The Sooners are replacing four starters up front, but they have skill there, according to Pelini. They allow just one sack per game.

“Their offensive line, they're physical and probably the best test for us this season,” he said. “So were going to have to come to play, that's for sure.”

Asked about his own team, Pelini had some positive things to say about today's practice inside the Hawks Center.

“It was a good mental day for us,” he said. “It was a good practice all the way around.”
