• Commentary:

• McKeever: “Saturday was O’Hanlon’s sweet night of redemption.”

• Stryker: “The Nebraska defense deserved this one, and they delivered it.”

• Shatel: “Some will call this one an upset, but this fell somewhere between an upset and the future of Nebraska football.”

• McKewon: “Through scheme, effort, guts and a terrific front four, NU simply checkmated the Sooners.”

• Sipple: “Yes, Big Red fans still have plenty to nitpick about. But they also should savor a defense that continues to amaze.”

• Chatelain: “Redemption. That was the story of Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.”

• Neeley: “Winning ugly is what this bunch does these days, on the shoulders of what has become a work of art on defense.”

• Hamar: “It will be remembered as the game when the 2009 Huskers accepted what they are and got themselves back into the thick of the Big 12 North race.”

• Tramel: “This game in reality came down to two plays, both in the first half.”

• Sittler: “The Sooners' sloppy offense didn't just repeatedly shoot itself in the foot, it blew the danged thing clean off.”

• Blevins: “It was another big game in which the 2009 (OU) offense could not have looked more different from that of a year ago.”
