Virgil Parker: Oklahoma State 28, Nebraska 24 Wouldn’t want to disappoint you. After picking Alabama and Colorado to beat the Huskers and choosing Nebraska to top both Washington State and Iowa State, what other choice do I have? The four games between the two schools since Tom Osborne took over the Cornhusker reins have ended in a tie, plus Nebraska victories by margins of 4, 8 and 4 points. This one should also be close. Realistically, my pick of OSU could be right. We’ll just have to hope our “system,” as used on Alabama and Colorado, works again.
