Welcome to the Crimson and Cream Machine as the Oklahoma Sooners get set to start a weekend series against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln. The Sooners caught a break last weekend with a rain out helping them to escape the weekend match up with the Baylor Bears still undefeated in conference play. The #12 ranked Sooners look to get a series win in Lincoln as they continue to move up the polls.
