Storylines: The Cyclones have lost four straight Big 12 games by a combined 14 points. Since 1980 only 2004 Purdue has lost four league games in a row by such a narrow margin. Oklahoma is looking to establish momentum after ending its first three-game losing streak since 1998 with a 52-42 home win over Kansas. The Sooners haven’t been unranked going into this game since 1999. Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel is the Big 12’s second-leading passer with 13 touchdowns against one interception and appears fully recovered from the concussion that kept him out of the loss to Texas. He threw for a season-high 403 yards against Kansas. The Cyclones are allowing fewer than 200 yards per game through the air but have not faced a passer the caliber of Gabriel.

Nebraska receiver Trey Palmer is fourth in the nation with 111.6 receiving yards per game after setting a school record with 237 against Purdue on Oct. 15.

Storylines: This is a pivotal Missouri Valley Football Conference game for both teams as SIU is 4-1 in the conference and a game behind league-leading South Dakota State.
