LINCOLN -- Nebraska and Oklahoma will renew one of college football’s traditional rivalries before a prime-time national television audience on Nov. 1. The Big 12 Conference has announced that the Huskers’ matchup with No. 4-ranked Oklahoma in Norman will be televised nationally by either ABC or ESPN, beginning at 7 p.m.

The network for the telecast will be determined after this Saturday’s games. It will either be on ABC or ESPN.

The national telecast against Oklahoma will mark the fifth consecutive week Nebraska has been televised nationally. The Huskers have also been on national television against Missouri (ESPN), Texas Tech (FSN), Iowa State (Versus) and will be this week against Baylor (Versus).

The matchup between Texas and Texas Tech will also be played at 7 p.m. on Nov. 1 and will be carried on ABC or ESPN. Other Big 12 games selected for telecast on Nov. 1 include Kansas State at Kansas (11:30 a.m., FSN) and Iowa State at Oklahoma State (2:30 p.m., ABC).
