Two offenses. Two speeds. One ball. Even the most casual fan will see a vast difference in the way Oklahoma’s offense operates and the way Kansas State moves the ball. The Wildcats? “Methodical,” says quarterback Collin Klein , offering up a solid euphemism for the slow offensive pace Kansas State has ridden to a 7-0 start. Said the squad’s self-deprecating humorist on the sidelines, coach Bill Snyder: “It’s just kind of the nature of the way we do things. We’re probably not smart enough to figure it out as fast as other people.” Oklahoma? When the Sooners get rolling, they’re arguably faster than any offense in the country. On at least a handful of occasions per game, TV viewers will miss the first half of an Oklahoma play during a brief instant replay. Despite the differences, the goals are identical. “At the end of the day, you’re trying to wear them down,” said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. Said Klein: “It gives our defense rest and enables us to wear down opposing defenses.” Both have succeeded in different ways. The undefeated Wildcats lead the nation in time of possession. That’s welcome news for a simple reason. “We think it’s a good thing if the ball’s in our hands.

I’ll spend the coming weeks familiarizing myself with Nebraska’s full roster, but I have an idea about my favorite Huskers player to watch. Big Ten fans should like him, too. What’s not to like about Rex Burkhead ? He ran the ball for 951 yards and seven touchdowns on 172 carries last season. He also served as Nebraska’s quarterback out of the wildcat formation. All three of his completed passes went for touchdowns in 2010, as Burkhead boasted an Aaron Bates-like passer rating of 396. Burkhead is no stranger to the quarterback position, calling signals for Plano High School as a sophomore while playing running back his other three seasons. I caught up with Burkhead earlier this week. So you run the ball, pass the ball. Are you going to kick field goals this year without [Alex] Henery there? Rex Burkhead: I don’t know, I’ve never been the greatest kicker in the world. I punted in high school. That’s about it. How much fun is it to contribute in multiple ways? It seems like football is becoming more and more specialized. RB: It’s fun. Just to show your versatility and to act like you’re the quarterback of the team every now and then, it makes the game a lot of fun. Stand back there and be the leader of the team every now and then throughout the game, just to give a spark to the offense, it’s a good thing. How much have you and your teammates talked about the move to the Big Ten since the Holiday Bowl? Have you spent much time on it? RB: Oh, yeah. We’re already watching film on the Big Ten games from last year. We’re definitely looking forward to it, and a big thing is playing new teams. That’s what a lot of people are looking forward to. We’re not playing the same Big 12 teams every year, so now it’s a whole new conference, a whole different style of games, so we’re just looking forward to it. What stood out to you when you watched tapes of those Big Ten games? RB: Teams are very physical. That’s a big thing. The offensive schemes are just lining up, pounding it at you and then throw the play-action pass. The defensive lines and offensive lines, they’re very big and athletic, so that has really stood out to us. Do you think you’ll have to adjust your style at all for the Big Ten? Will there be a feeling-out process between you guys and your opponents? RB: Yeah, I think we’re going to have to feel it out and see what we’re dealing with. But the coaches have confidence in our scheme and whatever they feel like they’re comfortable with, we’re going to go with it 100 percent. I know you didn’t end last season the way you wanted to. What has been the mood around the team as you go through your winter program

The attention surrounding the Big 12 Championship has centered on Nebraska’s Big 12 discontent, rumors of quarterbacks and longing looks back at one of college football’s most storied rivalries. Somehow lost in the shuffle is a Nebraska team who, a year ago, came within a second of winning a Big 12 title. The team wears wristbands that read “Finish” and “:01,” and though the second inscription on the wristband is most often linked to Texas, the larger goal was a Big 12 title. As sweet as a win over Texas in October would have been, it didn’t derail the Huskers shot at a Big 12 title. Nebraska still racked up 10 wins. It got back. It’s 60 minutes from achieving the goal that agonizingly slipped out of its hands with an errant kickoff, personal foul and one second added to the clock to set up a conference-winning field goal for the Longhorns. “When we started the season, the goals are always the player’s goals,” offensive coordinator Shawn Watson told reporters this week. “Our goal as a team has always been, because they said it, was to be the Big 12 champions. It’s important, obviously, for our players because they’ve worked all winter, all summer, worked through the season. It’s an important game for them and for all of us.” For all the talk of the series’ history, what happened in 1971 matters very little to these Huskers. What happened in 2009 does. Most of them were there. They’ll take the field at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday remembering well what watching that field goal slip through the uprights felt like. Those 60 minutes on the field will be spent making sure they don’t feel it again. There were no guarantees Nebraska could get back to Dallas. They did. Now, all that’s left to do is finish.

We’ll see Nebraska play angry the rest of its season. Generally, I’m not a fan of dwelling on officiating after a game. It accomplishes very little and wastes plenty of breath, a bit like screaming at a brick wall. An apology is the best you can expect from anyone who’ll listen, which is a select few. I’ll make a brief exception here. There were a few questionable flags, and the roughing the passer penalty that kept Texas A&M’s game-winning drive alive was an indefensible bad call. Courtney Osborne made a clean hit on Ryan Tannehill on time and below the helmet. I know Nebraska fans are also angry about the flag Ben Cotton received, but you’re naive if you think that worse doesn’t happen under piles every Saturday
